Look what I found in the paddock this morning. Look carefully...
Do you think I should go out looking for a pot of gold? I used autostitch to get this shot. I couldn't fit the whole rainbow in one shot, so I took a few shots and stitched them together.
This is just a brilliant tool! Be sure to check the options when you use it. It scales your pics down when it stitches them, but you can make it stitch full size if you want.
This is still in development, but at present, the program is free.

You can't really see it too well here, but the bigger shot shows it better... the seam that is....
If you look really closely, you'll see that the power line just disappears in mid air. This is because I took the shots from the same spot, just turning myself a little to get the whole shot. This meant that the power line was in a different position in each of the photos. To get a true seamless shot I should have taken the first shot, then walked across the paddock a bit to get the next, making sure that I was facing in exactly the same direction.
I think I'll have to put up some more examples of autostitching, just to show everyone how clever it is.

btw what program did you use to make the panorama (been reading about it lately)? Your shot is seemless!
