Grandad thats fantastic Panorama's, we can clearly see how PSE7 stitches them tog seamlessly....well done
Its so easy with PSE7 choose some photos & a matter of 3-4 clicks & watch the work get done.
I've only done a couple of Panorama's using 7 photos in total but I'm going to try more sometime to see how It ends up.
Looking forward to more Panorama.s from you.

Here's the latest Panorama I did a few days ago using PSE7 using 5 photos & turning the camera to take in portrait.
I liked the low lying cloud in this which was nice to see with naked eye against the blue of the sea & green grass.

Good move Kiya to turn the camera on its side to portrait mode.
You get more depth to the image but that can be lost if you use too many frames, in which case the picture becomes very wide.
My pano outside my house was 11 frames in portrait but it became too wide really. I would think that a finished ratio of 3 to 1 is about the maximum for useful images.

Here is a very wide panorama that I did some time back, I liked it because the early snow flurry was only on the one side of the lake.
Sorry that the finished file was quite small, so it is best viewed enlarged.
And while on the site it is worth looking around at some other superb photographs......

Have another question re: photography......
I haven't tried this yet cause I haven't got my subject matter set up yet but HOW does one take photos of black on black, white on white and make each piece stand out. I know there are subtle shades of differences in the colour and textures but are there any tricks or 'things you need to know' when take same colour on same colour?
Seems easy to take photos with LOTS of colours but lots harder when taking same colour on same colour.
(This question is actually coming based on a conversation with a friend who long long long time ago well prior to digital taking a camera class and that was one of the exercises to master. Taking same colour on same colour. She couldn't remember the purpose or point of this exercise just that it was a fun one to do and it took her weeks to finally master this with her then SLR camera)
Any tips? cautions? Do it this way....??

LLL, when thinking about your question, the first thing that comes to mind is LIGHTING.
I found this rather good little video on photographing white on white still life and I think it contains a lot of useful pointers.
Some weeks ago I entered a photo competition with this photo amongst some others, the theme was to represent the area where you live or surrounding area.
Today I received an email stating this 1 has been chosen in the final 20 out of hundreds who entered, the final 20 (including my 1) will be put on canvas & shown at the Waterside Inn Hotel, in a few weeks judges will be visiting to view the canvases & choose the final 3 & winner.
I dont care if I dont get near the final 3 but am delighted to get this far to be put on canvas & shown.
The 1st judges like it for the angle taken & between light/dark from left-right
