I like the first shot too. The cairn gives it a nice focal point.
try a UV and polarizing filter to cut the haze and make the sky a bit bluer. it also helps the clouds to pop out and prevents overexposure of the sky.
Kevin-I like the people in yours. It gives a nice sense of scale.

How much of a difference does a UV Filter make? I just went up and took some of my first pictures of mountains, on a very clear, and was somewhat disappointed with the results.

Also the blue sky turned pretty white (with some faint blue) in a majority of my pictures, do you think a graduated ND filter would do a better job of fixing this than a polarizing filter?

I used a polarizer on both of mine. In the second one, the sun (although behind the clouds) is in the center of the shot, so the polarizer isn't much help. I do think that I need to get better at making fine adjustments with the polarizer though.

I am curious, are there any commercial means of printing a digital pano that wouldn't break the bank? I wanted to give my parents one for their anniversary since they have really been enjoying the photos I have shown them.

Outstanding shots!
You had perfect weather! is that autostitch? or do you have a panoramic camera?

I generally get my prints at Shutterfly. I've heard good things about some of the chain stores doing nice print jobs (Walmart, Walgreens, etc.), but I guess it depends on the equipment in the individual stores. For what it's worth, I ordered a 20 inch wide print of the first pano from Shutterfly for around $18. Now I have my fingers crossed that it comes out well.

Thanks!
Both are Autostitch compilations, shot with a Canon G6.

Wow, mine are autostitch as well but I can still see the blending because the Pentax isn't 100% accurate at the edges (darker), so pictures tend to be a slight bit darker where blending occurs. The canon looks like it takes a perfectly uniform shot!

I've been happy with the panorama results I've gotten from the Canon, as long as I use AutoStitch. What's interesting is that Canon has thier own stitching software (PhotoStitch), which produces the darker areas of blending, but AutoStitch does a much better job.

What autostitch blending settings do you use?
