One of the satisfying parts of being home is having both the tools and the time to work on the enormous scenic vistas I saw around Moab.
I'm learning what kind of scenes work well, and which fight me all the way. This one is a natural. I'm in the middle of the Needles portion of Canyonland National Park, looking up at the Anticline and Needles Overlooks Be sure to click on it to get the larger version.

So, we know that those monster wide shots work when you stick 27 pictures together to make one.
However--there are other scenes that tend to show distortion when you do a lot of stitching.:
Little bit of curvature there, eh? Might still be usable, but I have to be careful.
If we are working on the printed page, we may have to stuff everything into one or more still pictures. However, on the web we may be able to simply go to the video. This one is of the first big river bend leaving Moab on the 128. Here's the still:
And here is the scene on video.
Which means that different techniques have their place. However, when I can get a panorama to work, it is a thrill.
