I recently downloaded Microsoft ICE, a free panorama stitching application from Microsoft, and I created a few test panoramas from my recent trip to New Zealand. I will showcase a few others over the next week or so.

For a free programme and also from Microsoft (albeit Microsoft research), it is actually pretty good and quite easy to use. It is available in both 32 and 64 bit versions.

I do recommend it if you want to get into the world of panoramas cheaply. It's not perfect, but it does do a satisfactory job of stitching slightly wonky images together. And it's free.

The following is a panorama made up of 16 separate images taken handheld in portrait position. Shot using Nikon D700 and 28-70mm at 28mm.

That is a very fine pano! Definitely has to be viewed large to appreciate it!

And it's free.

Great pano Steve,

love the fact that you have the plane in there, really makes the image. I would have liked to see the whole set of tracks for the plane but probably wasn't easy, but that's just minor.

Looking at the large version is great.

Cheers,

André

awesome photo,

i love how the sky turns from black to blue.

great detail aswell.

Wonderful photo, big version is great... hope you plan to frame this and hang it somewhere prominent!

Cool Steve.
