I found a great program to stitch digital photos together into panoramas – Hugin. It’s really easy to use, pretty much self explanatory. Just load some pictures into Hugin, create control points where the pictures are overlapping to match them up, optimise and stitch them together. Well, that’s the basics. Hugin has got a lot of settings to play around with to adjust the final result. Check out the Hugin home page for tutorials. If you’re a Ubuntu user then you can just install from the repos.
Here’s some I made earlier after walking around Derry’s walls. I pretty much only used the defaults settings and then loaded the panoramas into the GIMP to crop. Click the pictures to view the full sizes on Flickr.

Oh yeah, Hugin is also available for Mac and Windows.
