Taken near a small village called Maras, which is near (ish, about 1.5 hours away) the town of Cuzco, Peru. A beautiful area, since the landscape is of gently rolling hills, with a backdrop of craggy mountains. I took nine separate frames with my Canon Powershot S400 (small fairly advanced point-and-shoot camera).

Originally, I stitched them with Canon's Photostitch which is very fast and decent enough for a quick stitch, but the seams are blurry and quite obvious if you know where to look. But the prospect of adding control points for eight different overlaps stopped me from doing it with a better program (sheer laziness), until I came across Autopano, over a year later (I've updated the image on 30 May 2006).

I am truly impressed with Autopano. It just adds the control points for you and does a pretty much perfect job of it. After that it was a simple task of making nine ~8MB TIFFs with Hugin (using the PTStitcher engine for colour correction) and then Enblend for the final stitching (which is another excellent program). After that some minor contrast and levels tweaking in Fireworks.

Patchwork by ~GerbilEater Excellent focus, clarity and balance, and the stitching is almost flawless. The clouds, fields and even the two cows roaming free really makes this picture all the better. It's been a long time since I've seen a panorama picture get a DD, and I really think this deserves one. ( Suggested by ~w3sr and Featured by `Photosbykev )
