Yes. I was finding the same thing when I attempted a pano of Manhattan last night. The stitches don't look perfect - even though I used EXACTLY the same settings.

James,

I neglected to mention that when I take large panos I often take them in manual mode to lock in the settings. I meter the brightest part of the panorama scene and use those settings. On my D300 I can also lock aperture and shutterspeed which is another alternative I use to prevent them from changing as the camera is panned.

I also find that having good pano software can really help with difficult panos. CS3 works OK for well behaved panos, but if you have alot of perspective shifting, specialized software can really help. The good programs don't just put the frames in register. They also blend esposure at transitions and they even will distort the images to correct for perspective shifts.

Some of my best
