We have just got back from a family camping holiday at Kennett River on the Great Ocean Rd.
This is a 4 shot panorama overlooking the hills, and the town of Apollo Bay and the ocean. I used a free program called hugin.exe to stitch the shots together (available at http://hugin.sourceforge.net/ - which someone on this forum mentioned previously).
Click on the picture for the bigger version (warning - approx 3mb dl), and you may be able to click again in the browser (some have a zoom function that fits the image into the browser). Please let me know if clicking on the picture does not work, as I have found, and are trying a free image hosting service, because the file is so big.
The aperture, shutter, WB were all set to the same value for the shots.
Please let me know what I could do better, to improve panos for the future.
Edited to change title and thread to Apollo Bay - not Lorne. Thanks Casnell

Nice work Russell. The large image loaded just fine for me.
My only suggestion is to crop the left slightly to remove the telegraph poles since, apart from their ugliness  they also have quite strong haloing or perhaps a touch of chromatic aberration

Fantastic view. I can see right down to the coast  It's very green down there too. Excellent panorama, perfectly stitched.

I love this, what a great shot.
Fantastic to view it full size and look around in it. Seems to be an old deserted house just about smack in the middle. I love shooting old buildings like that, when I can find them.

Lovely shot, well stitched, but isn't it Apollo Bay?

 Whoops ... yep. Thanks for that. I will change the thread title.
Thanks for all the comments guys. Saw the view driving along the road, and thought I would stop to capture it. The free program did all the stitching automatically, so I cannot take too much credit there.
