The view from my window.
This afternoon I experimented with my first effort at photo stitching, using a program called Hugin to piece together the view from my window. Click for greater detail.
As you can see, it’s hardly a perfect job. But I think it fits together well enough. The most obvious flaw seems to be the shift in color that splits St. Vibiania’s in half. I’m a long way from a photo expert, but I suspect that’s caused by the automatic adjustments my camera makes as it saves images in jpg format. There’s probably some easy way to avoid that (shooting all of the photographs in a manually selected adjustment scheme, or RAW format), but I’ll leave figuring that out for another day. But if you are an expert, or if I’m totally off base, please feel free to chide away. I’m eager to learn.

That looks great man!! I’ve always wanted to mess with landscape photos. The Death Star remains intimidating in broad daylight!
It sounds like you are getting to the bottom of it.
I shoot in Kelvin, and daylight is around 5800, varying a little from camera to camera. You could probably set the shutter speed to 400-500 since there isn’t a lot of motion going on and see how it looks. I can bring over my 2.8 lens someday and we can test it out.
