One of the tricks that some digital cameras can perform is producing panoramic views. The LCD screen on the back of my Canon G6 helps by indicating where there is a seam between the previous image and the one being focused on currently. I then use a free “stitching” program, AutoStitch, that by some miracle combines all the images. The panorama that accompanies this entry, taken in the Japanese Garden at Seattle’s Washington Park Arboretum, was made from ten separate shots. Click on the picture to see it bigger; you may have to use the scroll bar to view the whole thing. A smaller view of a different part of this garden is made from three shots stitched together. Since a Japanese garden is really meant to be viewed as several small jewel-like vignettes rather than in a broad sweep, the panorama may not be as appropriate for this setting, but I sure do like the technology.
