So, I've been getting into this photography lark recently, and today I tried out a panoramic shot for the first time. I used hugin to stitch the photos together, and quickly found that more control points = better stitching. This is my first attempt and have learnt that taking the photos at 4pm in a really windy day, is not a great idea. Although I am really pleased about the stitching, the differing colours of photos makes it obvious where the stitches have taken place. The wind blowing the trees also didn't help.

So, tomorrow I'm going to attempt to have another go in perhaps a few other places at 12pm, or whenever the Sun is directly above, and hopefully I can patch together a seamless shot. Fingers crossed.

Update: The photo uploaded to flickr is a little small and horrible. Here is a link to a 1.3MB JPEG file of the same thing. The original is 10MB or so, but I don't think I'll put that on the web as it isn't actually any good as a panoramic shot -- I'm just really pleased the stitching is good!
