Test of a Panorama

This is a test of a large (printed it would be nearly 90 inches long) panorama of Xcambo Ruins. It encompasses the whole of the central court with surrounding buildings. I suspect I couldn't do this with a larger archeological site, but I was curious how it would look on the blog. It combines 16 different shots in 17 layers, one of them being the background upon which I load the individual exposures. It is not done with a panorama program. I'm not sure how one would work. For this I stood in the center of the courtyard and panned around in a circle and then adjusted the individual frames in Photoshop Elements.

You will have to enlarge this and then scroll through it sideways.
