I found a way to get rid of the lines when your sky doesnt exactly match.
Put the eraaser tool on 50 % opacity and runi it over the line a few times and you should see it blend the two slightly different colors together. Make sure you run it over the line till it's totaly gone.
This is a re-shoot of a place that I found several weeks ago. The clouds could have been better, but what can ya do???
If I was shooting black and white film with a sky like that I might have used an orange or a deep yellow filter to accentuate the sky. I think the sky could be darkened and clouds drama improved in photoshop when you are converting from digital color too. I still like the stark loneliness of this image.

I've read up on several methods for B&W conversions but I have yet to get really comfortable with any of them. I need to just start playing around and see what I can come up with.
That's cool! Is this a combination of stiched panorama and fill flash??? If it is you get a for creativity as well as a for execution!
Thanks Eric. You are giving me too much credit. The fill flash look was from an overhead light in the parking lot overlooking the dam. I have to fix than damn signpost as well.
The panoramas posted in this thread are freaking amazing! The ones from Ondrovic in Antartica are particularly brilliant.

Of course, so does falling down a flight of stairs.
That looks like a trip of a life time! I do have one question. Did you have to take any special precautions with the camera because of the low temps? Condensation and all that.
I never had any problems with either the temps (which weren't really that cold at all) or condensation. Despite being right along the coast, the humidity was always quite low so there was no reason to stick the camera in one of those big zip-loc baggies. I also had no problem with battery life, although I did have 2 batteries with me at all times. Each shore visit lasted about 4 hours so I would run each battery until it gave out and then swap and charge the swapped-out battery between landings.
The bigger issue was storage. I shoot in raw mode so I can fit about 133 images on a 1gb microdrive. I carried two 1gb microdrives with me at all times and would shoot till full, then swap if I ran out in the field. Upon return to the ship, I transferred all images to a 40gb Delkin PicturePad so I always started each shore visit with 2 empty cards. I shot around 2500 images which was around 25gb.
