I used this opporunity to learn median averaging in photoshop to help reduce noise. I'm not sure if I was dealing with a lot in the first place, but I did enjoy the results. This is a panorama comprised of ~25 images. This is actually the cropped B&W edition. Before I scaled it down for the forums, its about 11000x4000 pixels. There's a lot of detail lost.

This was quite a challenge for me during shooting as it was bitterly cold and windy on the lake (at 12:00 am) and afterwards as creating the pano took many attempts. Lightroom, Photoshop, and Microsoft ICE were not cooperating. I imagine this is because there were few horizontal lines across the frame. Even the shore line isn't straight so I couldn't depend on that.

For one of my first panos, I'm quite satisfied.
