Auto exposure? Perhaps use manual. Measure the whole scene to find a good compromise. Then use same exposure everywhere?

i've tried this myself but had the same problem... ended up postworking it out then set it to the side :p just luv these pans though... you live in such a pretty place! :]

Ah...the exif data said the metering mode was on Spot...bugger, I forgot to change it. I guess that has something to with the diff exposures...?

When creating panorama's always use manual settings. I usually scan through the viewfinder seeing what the measurements are and from that I choose the settings I need for manual. Automatic settings are going to mess up your panorama 99% of the time. If it's possible, even set your focus to manual.
