I’ve been wanting to try my hand at a panoramic photograph for a while, but was under the impression — mistaken, it seems — that the process is complicated. It’s not, at least in my ancient copy of Photoshop Elements 2.0.

The shot above was stitched together in about 17 seconds from three handheld photos from the orchard. I exported them at screen resolution from Lightroom, so there wasn’t too much processing involved.

Next step: a print.
