Long's Peak from Estes Park, CO

This is a Panorama that I shot in june last year in Estes Park, Colorado. Just got around to stitching it together. At 10 inch high it would be almost 7 feet wide. I used 120 degrees and 13 images to build it. Just found out that this is the only one of a few tries to get a successful panorama. After taking these images I found out about the nodal point of a lens. This set was taken with the 70-200 f2.8 is with it's bracket. I believe that bracket puts the pivoting on the nodal point of the lens. The stitching went very smoothy using CS4 photoshop. I have heard of a the Nodal Ninja which helps get any lens centered for the correct nodal point. The one thing I missed also was to turn the camera vertical and take long tall images then stitch them together. I haven't tried this yet. I can see when it comes to the cropping after the stitching it would be nice to have more vertical hight to work with.
