Dawson Heights panorama
October 6th, 2010
While at Dawson Heights back in the summer I took a series of photographs of the London skyline which were then stitched together with the free software that Canon provide with the Ixus 95. The two links are below:-

Sorry they’re not that sharp. I have since discovered that the DSLR is a vastly different beast to the compact digital camera and that exercise above needs repeating with a decent camera, on a tripod. If you beat me to it please get in touch with a link to your panorama and I’ll post it here.
If you doubt the difference between a compact digital camera and a DSLR then look at the photograph above. I took the lower one with my Canon Ixus 95 and a friend took the upper one with her DSLR in bright sunlight. Even allowing for the difference in illumination (hers was better lit), that does not account for the lack of clarity in mine.
Now imagine what a Dawson Heights panorama would look like taken with a DSLR, and how big the resulting file would be.
