I just ran across a cool program called Microsoft Image Composite Editor (ICE). It’s available for free from Microsoft Research.

The purpose of the program is to take a series of photographs and “stitch” them together into a final panoramic shot. This has been possible in the past, often manually in image editors, but this program has an automatic mode that makes the process near painless.

We tried it using some shots we took in California (without using a tripod) and it worked pretty darn well. If you like panoramic photos, it’s worth a look.

Here is a lo-res sample. We used 9 source photos and it covers 360 degrees.
