As you all know I have enjoyed playing with HDR but I love pano's.
Tonight I was grabbing some shots for HDR and decided to get a pano.

I took 4 shots and stitched them with PTGui.

I also got this HDR from the same location

Thank you all for your comments on my posts over the last few weeks.

Only new (just on a year) to photography and loving the learning of it all.
Great images! You ability to use HDR to get excellently exposed
sunsets is a lesson to us all - maybe a few more details of your
methodology (esp. how many shots, how you decide on your exposure
choices) might be in order..? (O;
Thanks Mark, A lot of people don't like HDR but I am really enjoying it.
At first I was like everyone else and made spooky looking HDR but
recently I have been playing around to make it look 'natural' or as
natural as can be.

I think what people don't like is the really over the top
tonemapping. Yours are quite natural and not over the top.

Except for this 'beauty' on my first go.

I did think the halo's around the boat looked cool.
