Panorama

To make panoramic pictures like this one, I use Canon PhotoStitch utility that came bundled with the camera (there are other software packages that can do the same). First, take some 4-7 pictures, while standing at the same spot and turning left to right (ideally, use a tripod) so that each picture has about 50% of the view of the previous picture. Then on the computer, with a few clicks the software finds similar areas in two adjacent pictures and combines them into a larger image, etc.
