Panorama!

Per A's suggestion, I tried shooting a panoramic view from our balcony. The first attempt, a week or so ago, didn't have nearly enough points for the software (autopanog) to map between the images, so I took another set.

Here is the version shot using a standard horizontal orientation, which shows a 180 degree panorama from the balcony:

Unfortunately, as you see, the horizontal approach forces me to crop off the tops of the nearby buildings.

But for some reason, the vertical approach didn't do the exposure blending correctly, so I need to keep working on it.
