Hello,
Today I'll show you all how to create a panorama using the algorithm of Photoshop CS5 and then for those who are advanced in photo manipulation I'll show you how to create an apocalyptic scene with fireballs and smoke.
You can use my images for this tutorial or you can take your own cool pictures. Don't forget to use a tripod and shoot a sequence of images for your desired place.

Also please donwload this image:

We need to add some flames, so make a new layer “flames” pick the smoke 2 brush and draw like me. Next add the layer style from one o f the fireballs and change the gradient overlay to this (make sure the reverse box is unchecked).

Using white as foreground and black for background draw with smoke 1 and 2 brushes like I did. Use Different sizes and opacity, be creative and try to achieve something like me or even cooler (Add a new layer “main smoke” on top of everything else). Next set the blending mode to Hard Light, look at my result.

Select all the layers and duplicate them, call the new layer “all layers” and place it on top. Set the blending mode to Soft light.

Add a new layer on top and call it “tint”. Using radial gradient from #533800 to #ffb80f draw like me, then set the blending mode to soft light.

Using Smoke 2 brush add some smoke like I marked for you with red (use 50% gray and black as always). Create a new layer under the tint and call it “sky smoke”. Next go to Hue/saturation (CTRL+ U) and set the lightness to -100
Step

Add a new layer “lines” and fill it with gray #7d7d7d (keep the background color black). Go to Filter > Sketch > Halftone pattern (use my settings). Next go to Filter > pixelate > mezzotint (use my settings). The last thing you need to do is to set the blending mode to Soft light and the opacity 45%.
