Great story here. Had my drone up for about 30 minutes before I was kicked out by a Watershed Ranger. Drone are apparently illegal over the town's drinking water. :)
Panorama from 44 shots, stitched together.

Did you take all 44 photos from one spot or you moved sideways while taking them?
All in the same spot. In the past I tried once or twice to move sideways along a coast or up and down on a tall building. Lightroom stitching seemed to then get confused and it made a poor result. Maybe other programs support this type of projection, but I never looked into it.
44 photos! That beats my entry by a factor of 2+ :). Lovely image, so quiet and peaceful. Diametrically opposite of my over-the-water drone panorama :)
Thanks all.
As to the 44 photos, it is 3 rows x ~15 images in portrait orientation. I really dislike the wide angle distortion/lean off center from the drone so I am in the habit of overlapping the photos a lot to give the stitching algorithm more data from the center of the frame to work with. Takes a long time to merge!

Awesome perspective. The panorama really enhances the impact, too. If only that construction equipment and disrupted earthworks in the foreground weren't so distracting... If it were me, and if I has access to this site again, I'd probably try coming back when the construction was complete--or maybe when there's some lovely autumn foliage to warm the foggy horizon line...
