It's been a while since the last update and before I can upload a photo tour of Baltimore, I must plug two photos at Zion National Park in Utah courtesy of tonystreks.com.
The first is an 18-shot panoramic with a few rules. In the photographer's words:
"Meter in the middle of your subject, and then shoot in manual mode. This helps eliminate differences in exposure. Depending on how wide you're shooting, overlap pictures by at least 30% On my Angels Landing, I shot 2 rows of 9 pictures. I overlapped the left to right shots by 40%, and the top and bottom rows by 50%. This gives the stitching program multiple points to match up, and it doesn't have to distort each picture wildly. The focal length was 57mm. You can shoot single row panos hand held and get pretty decent results, but not so much with Photoshop. I use PTGUI, and it's really good at making corrections, but AutoPan is a new software that is getting really good reviews that I might switch to."

The second is a 20-second water exposure shot with 9 stop ND filter, a Cir Polarizer, and a 2 stop GND filter. "Sometimes the 9 stops is overkill, but I just bump up the ISO a stop if needed to keep the exposures in the 15-20 second range."
