The panoramic skyline of en:Norfolk, Virginia, viewed from a small park on the grounds of Portsmouth Naval Hospital.
Seven pictures were taken with a Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z10 with the help of a firmly anchored tripod. Due to difference in exposure, which caused the sky and water of the first three composing pictures to be of completely different brightness, I chose to use a composite method for assembling the panorama. The right part was hand-stiched in Paint Shop Pro 8 with the help of a graphic tablet's eraser function: each picture was a separate layer, and I gradually erased with 10% opacity parts away from the edges of the pictures. The left part would've required more work with brightness correction, so I chose to resort to a semi-automatic stiching program instead, which fortunately took care of the color differences. I combined the two halves in Paint Shop Pro with the same erasing technique.
