Best skyline IMO.
And check out these photos from another Fatlace blogger in Greece. It shows I need a new lens badly and need to stop with this stich assist crap. Dope stuff:
I've been thinking about that recently - and trying to work out why some of my pano's work perfectly and others you just can't get to matchup.
It's down to lens distortion I'm pretty sure - I took one with my 50mm prime the other week - and it was huge, like 5 shots horizontally and 2vertically - and it stitched together perfectly in seconds. No having to fiddle around with anything.
Here it is - nothing too exciting which is why I haven't shown it already - but technically I'm pretty pleased with it.
The only problem is that 50mm is a bit long for some of the stuff that I like to do for landscape panoramas. I'd like a 28mm prime or something.They're kind of expensive though.

Lens hood
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In photography, a lens hood or lens shade is a device used on the end of a lens to block the sun or other light source in order to prevent glare and lens flare.
The geometry of the lens hood can vary from a plain conical section (much like a lamp shade) to a more complex cut sometimes called a flower, petal or tulip hood (as shown in the picture), which prevents the hood from blocking the field of view of the lens and producing vignetting. Flower shaped lens hoods are most often used on zoom lenses as a normal lens hood may block the field of view on some zoom settings.
Lens hoods are more prominent in telephoto lenses because the field of view has a smaller viewing angle than of wide-angle lenses. For wide angle lenses, the length of the hood (away from the end of the lens) cannot be as long as those for telephoto lenses because of the viewing angle.
Lens hoods are often designed to fit onto the matching lens facing either forward, for normal use, or backwards, so that the hood may be stored with the lens without occupying much additional space.
In addition, they offer some level of protection for the lens due to the hood extending farther than the lens itself.
