This is the view looking in roughly the opposite direction from this image. The other is more classically beautiful, with a sunrise over a lake, while this one has a parking lot taking up most of the foreground. Nevertheless the monorail curving towards the Magic Kingdom, where you can see both Space Mountain and Cinderella’s castle offers some interest.

This is the view from a pedestrian bridge, about 4-5 floors high,* connecting the Bay Lake Tower, which you can see part of in the right of the image, to the Contemporary Resort. Both sit within a short walk of the Magic Kingdom Resort in Walt Disney World. The monorial runs directly through an atrium in the Contemporary Resort building.

The image was taken with the Fuji X-E1 using its built in panoramic stitching feature.  It is similar to the stitching feature in the Fuji X100, but I have found I have had better results with this camera. I do not know if they improved the software, if I have gotten better at sweeping smoothly  or if by chance my subjects are easier for the algorithm to handle. I do know that most of the panos I tried to take with the x100 have ended up with poorly stitched sections that I seem to able to avoid with the X-E1.

* It is literally 4-5 floors high. It connects the fifth floor of one building to the fourth floor of the other.
