By far the best panorama stitcher that I've found is called hugin. It's open source, and you can get it from http://hugin.sourceforge.net
It not only allows you to set merge points, but to identify vertical and horizontal features, like horizons and building edges, to ensure that they come out properly.

Eddie,
That shot of Mathhes Crest is incredible, it has a really exposed feeling to it. It's my new wallpaper.
Thanks!

When I was seventeen on my first trip to Josh. I used MS paint. It is pretty terrible quality. Of all my trips and all my photos, this is my favorite, and always will be. Good friends, good places. All I need.

Ok, a serious question: At what point (mm) does a wide-angle lens get to squirrelly for pano-shots? (the outer edge is typically more distorted than towards the center) It seems to me that in digital terms (as 35mm film lenses are different) that it’s around 35-40mm, no?
Jerry: Wow that stuff on the Really Right Stuff website is incredible (and pricey!). I love the idea of the pano clip that rotates on the optical center of the lens.
All of my pano stuff was just for selling homes. It’s essentially how we made virtual tours…so it’s really boring! But high the high-volume work in Real Estate taught me tons about making quick processing decisions in Photoshop and in turn training my assistant to see things and process as I saw it. I have yet to work with scenic panos, so this will be fun. Unfortunately, my version of Photoshop (7something) doesn’t include stitching, but I look forward to playing with some of the online stuff.
Karl…your Whitney and Iceberg lake shot is incredible. 15 shots??? Judging from the overall crop of the picture, shouldn’t it be an even #, like 2 rows of 7?
Euroford: You’re night shot improved quite a bit. I used to shoot a lot of night stuff. The cool thing about digital is that you can learn quickly compared to film as you can see the results asap. Two things I’ve learned about shooting at night in digital: 1. Always work in both manual focus, aperture and f/stop modes and if you want stars out of your bright lights use at least f/18. 2. Turn off the Auto ISO and work in a fine mode with longer exposures.

Three rows horizontal and 5 rows across. I had to deal with the transition of rock to water and then get depth of field for the closer ice.
I've shot lots at 28mm equiv. The secret is having lots of overlap so the edges aren't so critical anyway. Shooting a bit tighter would probably be better though.
Peace
Karl
