Starting to Create my First Panorama

To start creating my panorama, I firstly placed all of my images in a Photoshop document on different layers so I could work with all of the images separately. For a starting point with the editing, I roughly placed all of the images together so I would get a rough idea of what the finished image would look like.

Although some parts fitted well together at this stage of editing, I would have to edit some parts further for the image to flow better.
After placing the images together, I added layer masks to each of the photos and roughly blurred parts of the images so they would fit together. Using layer masks is a non-destructive way of editing.

This is a before and after shot of simple layer masking. The top of the sky blends well but further editing to the colours will have to be done to the bottom part of the sky.
