Default More Practice

We had a pretty decent sunset last night here in the desert. I liked the color in the first shot but from my vantage point I couldn't go wide like I wanted to. So for the first time I tried a panorama and stitched a few shots together. Panorama's are harder than I thought but I think I'll keep trying.

Thanks! I'm going to keep working on my panos. They are a little trickier than I thought.

Thanks! I wanted to go a little wider but I actually ran out of memory trying to get them all stitched together.

great shots. I believe that panoramas are more difficult when there is a moving element in the scene like clouds or changing light. Vegas does get some awesome sunsets though.
