Cleanup Discoveries

I was cleaning out my temp folder and found a set of picture I had taken of the Tokyo tower with the hopes of doing a panorama of them. I gave it another shot just now and got them to come together a little bit better this time. Anyway, here's the result.Yes, you could take that picture with just one shot if you had the right gear, but the shortest focal length I have is 18mm, and it's very poor for low-light work. That said, a brightly-lit tower can hardly be considered "low-light", so I used my 18-55mm, the cheapo kit lens that comes with every low-end DSLR for the past five years.
it would take at least six separate pictures at that focal length to do this from where I was standing, and I was far back as I could get without standing (too deeply) in shrubbery/gardening. This picture is taken from 17 of the 20 or so picture I took from that spot. You'd think with that many, I could've got the tower to expose properly in one of them. Unfortunately, though I did, I took those picture from a slightly different viewpoint, so I can't match them. Cool, huh?

I'd like to go back and try this again with the proper gear, ie: a tripod, but I don't think I'll be able to afford it this trip.
