Cooool, where did you take this from? One of the apt buildings? So was it hard to do? I always said I was gonna do this but never did...

It was so easy I was shocked. In Photoshop you go to File/Automate/Photomerge. You select the photos you want merged and it just does it for you. I think the only important thing to remember is to manually set your exposure so it stays constant on all the shots. I didn't even use a tripod. I just tried to use the sidewalk on the bottom as a gauge.

Way COOL! You make the Ala Wai golf course look like a mountain. Great shot!

Erick and Shun-Wah, thanks! But I nevah do nothing. I actually wanted it more stretched out but couldn't do it so I gave up.

I meant to ask you, is this different areas of town that you merged together, or is this looking north from the AlaWai too?

still rubbing my eyes. I've lived on the Ala Wai for years but I've never seen it from this vantage point.

Betty and Ron, I took the photos from a friend's condo, I think about 12 floors up, pretty much from one spot shooting right, straight ahead and then left, trying to keep the sidewalk below the canal even. I had no idea it would end up looking like this after Photoshop did its merging thing.
