A simple stitched panorama I took in 2004 in the Painted Hills unit of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. It's nice how much improved the panorama stitching technology has gotten in the past decade, the original raw image files here were small and imperfectly matched in exposure, and this image required (at least with one bit of software back in the day) the hand identification of stitching points.
Now it's select-select-menu-pause-done. And, with Lightroom's recent "merge raw files", it's pretty easy to start from a couple raw files and then work on tonal adjustments and so forth once.
So grateful for the improvements we've gotten, not only in panoramic tools, but in image editing tools in general. It's easier than ever to make technically strong prints, and that allows me to focus on what should remain the harder part, composition, and meaning.
