Most are sunsets, sunrises, landscapes, mountain scapes etc. etc.
I have these two of a smaller area. In Riverside CA there is a park named "Riverwalk Parkway". It is a man made river with a series of ponds, rapids and a couple of dams built in a flood control channel almost a mile long. These two are from the viewing platform in the middle of one of the ponds.

You have to click on the images to see the whole thing.

1. 17 shots of the north west to west side of the northern end of the pond with lots of birds and turtles
2. 5 shots SE to South to SW end of pond with dam and ducks

Canon 90D, Canon 70-300L @ 140, 1/500 @ f/8.0, ISO varies by frame - hand held

I had to clone in and fill white areas, which I am not great at so you will spot bad areas and repeated features in some places

As you've probably already figured out, next time, maintain consistent exposure values across all frames. By that, I mean a set --not floating-- ISO, shutter speed and aperture. As well, allow for plenty of overlap, 25-30 per cent or so, from one shot to the next.

I can't imagine, however, why there'd have been any white spaces that needed to be cloned in or whatever. No software I've used in the past 20 years (that can merge panos) has left anything like that.

I use manual with fixed SS and Aperture but forgot to take my ISO off auto. And each of these is a 90° arc so when merged into a panorama they were a series of jagged sections since I was hand holding and turning to cover the area. A tripod or even a monopod would have helped with that a lot. But it was my first visit there since Covid-19 started and I did the two panoramas on a whim because over on Face Book the group Create 52 the theme for this week is "Panorama". I got some good shots of Black Necked Stilts, a small Snowy Egret, various ducks and a pair of Double Crested Cormorants-male with breeding plumage and female perched within 3-4 feet of each other and putting an exhibit of preening etc. Those I will start working on tomorrow. And I will go back a couple of times in the next couple of weeks once earlier and once just before sunset since there is usually different activity than the 1:30 to 2:30 PM I was there.
