RAW image (converted to JPEG using digiKam)
In-camera JPEG image
Lessons of the day:
1)
The last two images demonstrate one of the reasons why many photographers prefer to shoot using RAW format. Although in-camera enhancements try to give images more pleasing color contrast, the results are rarely consistent.
In this case, the JPEG version is too bright to the point that the clouds could barely be distinguished from the supposedly blue sky.
In contrast to that, the image derived directly from RAW retains more of the colors as perceived by the camera sensor itself.
2)
When making a series of photographs for panoramic stitches, make sure that the camera is fully set to Manual mode (i.e. manually specify the shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and white balance). In order to ensure that the camera will not change any of the settings in between shots, NOTHING should be set to auto.

I cannot stress enough the usefulness of having an articulating screen. Were it not for my 600D, that last shot would have required me to place my head against jagged rock.
