Finally tried PhotoShop's Photo Merge. Worked quite well! I adjusted perspective and horizon using "warp". It takes some practice but the results are worth it. This one covers an entire par 5 golf hole... about 1/4 mile from edge to edge.

When it works, it is great. I use the content-aware fill for the white around the merged result. It avoids cropping that leads to an elongated image; a more natural result. Sometimes it errs so a little cloning is needed. Overall, the effects are awesome.
Nice photo. What lens and settings were you using? James
xpane... As it was just a test, I used the Canon 18-55 kit lens. Did not record the settings.

Your metadata tell all. No longer need to write anything down. Most programs read your metadata and many will even show you where the lens focused.
