i get great easy results with autostich...don't have to do anything other than select the pics I want it to put together

OK.. Here is my first ever Pano.

I like the software. I'll buy it to get rid of the watermark once I've done a little more testing

If you want to look at it a bit closer and download it look here

I tired to get a Pano of the house but I tried to do it moving down the road which follows the house...how ever it didn't work! was doing that way so I could include the paddocks on either side...

so this one was done at the begining of the drive standing in one spot and turning which is why I think I got the curvature look....would this be avoided if I was using a pano rail?

Yes correctly aligned and also with the camera levelled you will remove the parallax error

You dont need to stitch to get a panorama.

This is a single shot at 10mm.

The downside is you loose a lot of mega pixals with centre cuts.

This next one is a 4 shot stitch.

This was a hand held shot. I find that I get better results hand held than with a tripod for these kinds of shots. Photo shop CS3 was the tool used here.

Heres a singtle frame shot of the Cockburn Ranges (WA) at Sunset/Moonrise

I reckon the panorama shows the view better

Sunrise Mornington Wilderness Sanctuary (WA) looks better as a Panorama

Painted Desert (SA) looks good as a Panorama.

Program used is Arcsoft Panorama Maker 4. It was a free program and is very simple to use. It gives best results when the horizon is straight and in the same position in each pic to be stitched. A tripod would make this easier but you can still get good results if you're careful. My D70 has marks in the viewfinder that make this easy to achieve.
If you're using a polarising filter remember to re-adjust it between shots, or remove it completely, or the sky will come out in varying shades of blue. This can probably be fixed in PhotoShop if you know how to drive it.
