So Scott, how did you set this up? What lens were you using? How did you plan the pano (how many vertical shots? How many rows? In which order?)
And last, how large is the final Tiff of PSD file?
Well I was driving back from the airport and saw this awesome storm, then I saw all the high tensile power lines and thought I had to be clear of them. This shot and railroad is actually only a few blocks from my home. There was no time to set up, all I had was a 50mm f1.4 and a 90mm f2.8 so I went with the 50 after taking a panorama with my mobile phone. The sun was setting behind me and I just pulled off the road in a safe place. I work from right to left low and left to right high. Its about 10 shots horizontal by two rows. There is a lot of overlap. I could not save it to TIFF as it was above 4GB. I saved it High res JGP at 230mb.

This is its size. If that helps.
