Giulio - excellent pano!! I like experimenting with panoramics, as some of the shots go from seperate mundane shots, into something more eye-catching. Great view you captured there!!

Wonderful: all those shades of green and brown offset by the blue-grey of the lake

Maria - simplest way to make a stitch is if you have Microsoft's Windows Live suite installed on your pc. In Live Photo Gallery, you have options to do this. At the moment, I'm still at work, but if you would like to know more, PM me here. I can then send you some instructions (and some photos to practice on!).

Hi Mary and thanks for your comment.I would like to live there rather than in Florence. About photo-merge Steven is right. This is my first photo-merge showed in PUG. Till now I had used CS5 of Photoshop.However something strange occurred a few weeks ago when I bought RZ-18. To merge 3 capture no software is required...is the camera that stiches 3 captures together. You work in Panorama mode and camera asks for direction of shooting: left or right. I clicked on right. First capture.Camera shows a flag and you have to match subjects of this flag "with subjects of the next second photo...and so on till the third". Then camera automatically resize and final capture is the merge at 2MB resolution. I used a monopod only! Done in a few seconds.Buy RZ-18!!

I bet that was a good surprise and much easier than i thought, thank you for that info Giulio, but i won't be buying RZ-18 not as yet anyway, i'm still getting to grips with what the K7 can do
