Gorgeous, as usual! By the way, I put a post in the Equipment and Software section asking for suggestions for a new camera. I would love your suggestions.

Technology is great, but you obviously gave it incredible shots to work with.

Really cool.

Nice work---wish I could do something like that.
All my exposures on the panoramic always look different.


You are clearly -- THE MASTER!

Thanks, Larry, and everyone else, for the nice comments. There is a trick to keeping the exposures the same. I set the exposure mode to manual. Also, I turn off the auto focus (after acquiring a locked in focus at a set focal length). And, I also turn off Auto white balance. Overlapping images by 30% helps. And, I level the tripod and level the camera vertically and horizontally. Then, it's a snap for Photoshop Elements to merge images seamlessly. Oh, I usually try to use a midrange focal length to avoid lens barrel distortion. And, it's best to avoid using a polarizing filter on shots like this.... to avoid sky banding. I guess I should have said... tricks... plural.
