First Panoramic: Wasatch Mountain

I have always been tempted to do a panoramic photo, by taking a series of shots and stitching them together in Photoshop.

In order to do this you need a few things:
A computer with enough RAM (this processes takes so much RAM because the computer is taking 50 pictures and turning them into one)
A nice camera (it is good to have a camera that will keep the coloring even through the shooting)
Either a steady hand or a tripod (if you are shooting a panoramic by hand you need to make sure and keep your hand even and only move the camera ever so slightly so that you will have a good picture when you are done)
And something long and still to take a picture of.

Now that I finally have a computer with a lot of RAM and a nice camera, I took the challenge of keeping my hand steady and taking a picture of one the many Wasatch Mountains in Utah. This picture is around 28 pictures stitched together.
