An experiment to create massive print, its been very successfull.

Stitched out from 28 separate 6MP files from a D70, creating a massive 60MP (12,000 x 5,000 @ 300dpi) panorama, yet the view is NOT WIDE, just a nice wide angle panorama to be blown up till metres long!!

Rough calculation of this one, can be blown up to 4 metres wide and still have enough resolution to look sharp!



Here are two 100% crop from this massive image:

Lets play this game called "find the duck"

freaking awesome!
just one question though, why that spot? why that scene?
nicely done though.

You did a terrific job stitching it all together. The only noticable parts are in the water where you have the different colours.

I've looked everywhere and still can't find a duck though

Laurie,

Why the spot/scene? Simply because I was there by that time I 'saw' the shot in my head... I wanted a dusk/sunset view of the harbour which is always spectacular, but I couldnt stay long enough nor had my tripod with me.


Owen,

Nice looking. Tho the uneven water exposure is from the reflection of the buildings, if you notice the middle has more white/grey buildings than to the sides with reflective blue coat windows. Then maybe I had a polariser on, it had affected a bit in the exposure as well.

And keep looking for the duck (seagull actually), you just havent tried hard enough Its a sitting duck somewhere in the pic

Yi-p, very, very impressive. Great job of stitching it together.




ps is the seagull above the n of Darling?

I count five on the water and twenty-five behind you wondering what you were up to!

Fantastic work!

Yeah, the duck shown is the one sitting on top of the 'n' of Darling


This massive image took me 35mins on a dual core CPU to render. A 550MB uncompressed file, or a 38MB JPEG... compressing down further gets me to 8.7MB JPEG... Its one of the biggest I've ever got at the moment... should be creating some more of different views

Holy crap, that's awesome!! It must have taken you a while to stitch together, you must be a patient man

That's definitely worth enlarging to poster size and putting on a wall.

Great work Yi-p - the only thing is the IBM building looks like it is leaning to the right a bit.

Yes, I've noticed that too, but I try to avoid not to correct this much as the original files takes a minute to load and save on photoshop...

I'll just live on with it, its not that much a noticeable distortion.

How do you go about taking the shots to make up a picture like this?

very impressive set of shots!! How long did it take to stich the 28 shots? Done in photoshop or one of the panoramic programs?

How do you go about taking the shots to make up a picture like this?

Using a medium long telephoto, point at the start of your edge, continue taking frame by frame until you hit the other part of your view angle. Overlaping by about 1/3 or 1/2 of each frame. You must have the picture in your mind as a puzzle first, or else you end up with missing pieces around the important edges...

Used 'autositch' program (its free). Took me about 35minutes to render this image, and another 1hr to carefully fix up the details.
