Panorama-rama
I had some fun at Road America this weekend with my dad, not only seeing some great racing but also figuring out a slew of features on my camera. Example: I had no idea that my camera had a burst mode (lots of pictures really quickly). I ended up taking 786 pictures over two days, which is pretty easy when you can take 15 pictures in less than two seconds.
Anywho, I took a bunch of pictures at a few different locations in the track with the thought of stitching them together in GIMP and creating some panorama shots. It turns out there’s a program that does that for you automatically, and it’s stupid simple to use. The following pictures were done with Autostitch. Had I know I could have gotten such good results, I probably would have taken a lot more (and perhaps tried a little harder regarding the actual shots).

Heh, note the guy in the above picture that appears twice.
