Gotta agree with cogi...I like having the ability to go really wide with a single shot. I\'m not totally averse to stitching (there are several specific pano\'s that I have in mind and waiting to shoot), but sometimes multiple shots aren\'t very practical. Below is a shot of Horseshoe Bend along the Colorado River taken with a 5D/17-40L at 17mm focal length (single exposure). At the time, there were 40 mph wind gusts at the rim which didn\'t make it conducive to setting up a tripod and taking multiple exposures with a \'normal\' lens. When a UWA will do the job and is available, why bother stitching?
Here you go.
We weren\'t standing in the same spot so the framing is a little off. If I remember correctly I stitched this using the cylindrical projection in ptgui.
