Hm. Nice attempt at stictching here. But it needs work. Did you use a tripod?

I just attempted stitching a photo myself - it turned out really well, if you're interested in seeing it.

Keep those images.

Get Autopano-SIFT (http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~nowozin/autopano-sift/) Hugin, and Emblend (emblend is usually included with Hugin) (the links are included on the linked page)

Good stuff, that's the suite I use for mine.

HLCYG: I'm interested in seeing that stitched shot you have, you gonna post another thread of it?

No tripod--i just go for long walks. Thanks Mr Yuck

This one would have been very good if the stitching had worked. I have stitched afew together hand held with very good results. I use Panomaker 4. You can download a free trial. I did it by keeping the camera in manual and meter for the brightest spot. Manual focus and overlap you image 50%. I also use the cameras focus grid as a leveling guage. Give the free trial a go and see if you like it.

Actually I really like Canon Photostitch which I use. I did this really quickly. I dojn't bother with formalities. They are bound to look rough.
