Panoramas are a great way to provide a different visual perspective. To take a good panorama, it is important to keep the lens at 35 mm focal length (don't remember the reason why, but I'll find out). Each shot should also overlap 1/3 of the previous shot. F-stop should be at F11/16 for good depth of field and held constant for all shots. Once the shutter speed is set, it should not be changed either. This way, when the image is stitched together, the panorama will look fluent. The exposure may be different for each individual shot because of lighting, so you can just take the average of the highest and lowest shutter speed.
I used Adobe Bridge to merge the images and opened it in Photoshop CS5. To do this, select all the images in Adobe Bridge. Click Tools --> Photoshop-->Photomerge...
After this a window will pop up. Make sure Auto is selected and check the box at the bottom "Blend images together" Then just wait and voila.
Above are images taken of Lake Nick in Bolton-Est, Quebec(F16, 10 sec, ISO100) and the Boston Harbor (F11, 10 sec, ISO100).
