It doesn’t matter how wide a lens you own. Sometimes when you’re faced with a gorgeous expansive vista, just one shot won’t capture the scene…and that’s where panoramas come in. I used to try to “stitch” all my panoramic shots together by hand to create the final product, but after experimenting with Photoshop’s automated Photomerge feature a couple weeks ago, I went back and redid some of my favorite collections. Enjoy (make sure to click the panoramas to see the large versions and get the full effect), and keep an eye out for part two!
