I took this picture a couple of years ago and have drawn back to it a number of times.  When I look at it, I imagine a story prompted by the scene.  I think that if five people studied the photo and then made up a story line, there would be different stories.  I think that I know which direction Alfred Hitchcock would take the story.

Panorama pictures can be done by taking a sequence of pictures and stitching them together on post-processing or by cropping a picture to a 36" x 12" photo.  Here are a few that I have done.  I like to do them, but the problem is that it takes more time in composing the shots.  There are times when the opportunity does not cooperate.

The first picture is a cropped photo.  I planned on doing it the former way, but the weather did not cooperate when I had the time to take sequence of shots for post-processing.  It is of the waterfront in Bergin, Norway.
I cannot remember how I shot the second picture, without going back to the originals, and the third picture is of our backyard.  Notice the diffraction caused by the wide angle lens.  This could be corrected some in post-processing, but I chose not to for some reason.  Remember to click on a picture to enlarge it.

The following were multiple photos that were stitched together.  The first picture was taken in Destin, FL.  The second is a Fjord in Norway on a rainy day.  The third is a panorama in Western North Carolina.  It was very overcast and much processing was done. The last picture, which was one of my first tries at panoramas, is of Nubble Light, in York Beach, ME and happens to be my favorite, up to now...
