Photographer’s Note
Well here is my first panoramic post. The bridge shown is Ambassdor bridge connecting Windsor,ON to Detroit,MI. I was there during a thunderstorm and as soon as I saw sky clearing up in far distance I took this photo. You can still see the left of the photo is darker. Four photos were stiched together to get this view. I hope you like it. I dont have much experince with panoramic photos so I appreciate it if you write your suggestions.
Below is some facts aboutThe Ambassador Bridge.
The Ambassador Bridge is a suspension bridge which connects Detroit, Michigan, in the United States, with Windsor, Ontario, in Canada. The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel also connects these two cities.
The bridge, over the Detroit River, had the largest central span in the world when it was completed in 1929 — 1850 foot (564 m). The total bridge length is 7500 feet (2286 m). The roadway rises 152 feet (46 m) above the Detroit River. It is the busiest international border crossing in North America in terms of trade volume: more than 25% of all merchandise trade between the United States and Canada crosses the bridge.
Due to the extremely high traffic volume, the American and Canadian governments are jointly examining proposals for the construction of a second bridge downriver.
PS: Is there any other sofware that might do a better job of stiching photos? I used PhotoStich that comes with my canon camera.

Great job on the panoramic! I love the colors and POV. I have been on that bridge so this is especially nice to see.

Bautiful shot of a suspension bridge on sunset!
You were there right on time. Image quality does not quite cope the large version, but is OK on the main view.
I'm quite pleased with PhotoStitch, assuming that you have the same version as I got with my A95. Maybe the program got confused with converging lines of the bridge and horizon?
(I have one stitch in the gallery, under Switzerland / Appenzell Ausserrhoden)

Kari
