I've added a new picture to my gallery from the most fantastic ride I went on this summer.
Guardsman's Pass above Salt Lake City.
I'm not in the picture because I took it, but the panorama (with the help of Photostitch) is stunning.
I'll apologize in advance for the panoramic size. This picture is kind of wide.
Scroll across for the full pic.

That's a Pentax Optio 555, which has a panoramic feature. It allows you to take overlapping pictures, then stitch them automatically using ACDSee software. Works like a charm.
The camera is fantastic too. Haven't had it long, but it takes excellent outdoor pictures. Like any compact digital camera, it doesn't do particularly well in low light situations (at least not if there's any motion). However, for most situations, it works well. 5megapixels, 5x optical zoom, you can control just about every setting manually if you want, and it's really small. Just slightly thicker than a pack of cards and about the same length. Battery life is pretty darn good too.
