Fun with Panoramas

If you haven't tried to put together a panorama (multiple images stitched together to create an extreme wide angle shot) in Photoshop (I am using version CS3) you don't know what you're missing.  It is so easy and the final result is really impressive. 

This weekend I took three photos of the Pony Express Station ruins out in the Nevada desert and I combined them using Photoshop's "Photomerge" tool.  You simply choose two or more photos to merge into a panorama, run fill up your coffee, and by the time you return... Photoshop has nice panorama sitting there waiting for you!  How cool it that!

These are the three photos along with the final result.  It was a cold grey day so I "blued" up the sky a bit in Lightroom.  All in all it probably took me less then five minutes... but don't tell anyone!

and here is the end result!

Give it a try.
