Earlier this year I blogged about a free photo stitching application called Hugin, that combines multiple photos in to cool panoramas. It did a pretty good job but was not at all easy to use. Today I tried a brand new free photo stitcher called ICE that was just released by Microsoft last week as part of a research project. All I did was take 8 photos from my final pilgrimage to Shea Stadium this past August, dragged them into this program, and a minute later I automatically got this awesome panoramic photo. How cool is that.

I'm going to take more multi-frame photos now that stitching them together is this easy and the results this good. I don't usually recommend Microsoft software but if you're interested in creating stitched panoramic photos you should check this out.
