I went out again tonght. This time to Dover Heights for this Pano.
I love it!! I hope you do to... C & C welcome pls. Only way you can learn :)
I did quite a bit of PP on this to make the image more blue as the orig was more orange. Let me know what you think and how I could improve.

Enjoy- 800 wide ver

That's a cracker of a shot and is well worth waiting for the large version to load to appreciate the quality of the image.

And thanks for abiding by our 800 px image size request :wink:

I like that! Captures everything in the city.

Dover Heights? never been there before.. might have to check it out. From the same place if you turn around is it the ocean?

Thanks for your comment thus far :)
Dover Heights is very close to the ocean. Its between Bondi and Vaucluse.

This is 3 photos. at 70mm
I used autostitch. its free and it rox!
find it here : http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html

The trick with it is in options to set everything to 100% ie jpg and quality otherwise it reduces the image. This one took around 5 or more mins to process on my Athlon running at 1.8Ghz (eq=3400+) 32 bit.

With this program you can do hand held panos and they come out quite good.

Heres one I did from the back of a boat hand held with my P&S Canon A75 this was 15 photos!!

Enjoy!

Best thing about autostitch is that its automatic no user involvement.
Just crop the result and PP :P
