Wonderful pano shot!

Thanks Benny!

phenomenal! excellent work, inspirational!

Lovely view of Moku Nui and Moku Iki. What is the island off the far southern peninsula?

The biggest challenge in Panos is to keep your exposure constant. Otherwise you end up with some serious brightness blending issues.

Mahalo MC!

Yes DS, the color shifts are obvious at the seams. This was before I got acquainted with the "M" manual option on my Point&Shoot. Future panoramas will probably have less color/light issues with the M option set. The Lanikai series was handy though so I gave it a try. The stitching software works really well once you understand how to play with it. And, you can't beat free ;).

Google Map with some labels I made:

According to Google Earth, the island off the Mokapu peninsula (left of the people and Lanikai Bunker) is Moku Manu, literally "Bird Island" in Hawaiian.

The larger island to the South (Right) is Manana, literally "buoyant", also known as "Rabbit Island"

The smaller (more inland) island there is Käohikaipu island (sometimes referred to as "Goat Island").

This is quite a panorama!

Thanks Thor! It took a good bit of experimentation to get it to this point.

beautiful landscape

thanks Photocharles!

I use Photomerge that comes together with Photoshop Elements. It works very nicely too.
The one thing I do is getting an average exposure reading somewhere at a right angle from the Sun. I set the camera to manual exposure and dial in the metering value.

yes, manual does help.
