This panorama of three stitched images gives a good view of the main drop of the Coulonge Falls during the spring runoff. This is my first attempt at a stitched image and, while I'm fairly happy with it, there are a number of things I will do differently for the next one.For example, I can see how a panoramic head, or at least a spirit level, would be very helpful. I took the component shots on a tripod with a ball head and estimated by eye how to line up the images. I didn't do too badly, but it could have been better (as you can see from the edges of the image that I've left in place).
What else did I learn? Umm... always remember to wipe the spray off the lens between shots.
All that said, I think I may be developing a taste to do some more panoramas. Stay tuned.

Very very good indeed, especially for a first effort. I take these are near where you live? Having access to such wonders must be great. I look forward to seeing more of your panoramas.
Thanks a lot, Patrick. In Canadian terms, the falls are near where I live -- just a 100km drive from home. ;-)
I had to laugh a bit at your comment about how great it is to have access to such wonders -- I often look with envy at your pictures of Kew Gardens and think the same thing. (My dad is from Richmond, so I've been to Kew several times.)
