Panoramic view at 130-MPix

Somehow I'm quite hooked to building up very large panoramas for no reason. I'm not quite a pixel peeking person but I like the way they are done and the amount of details from it.

This time another over hundred megapixels image. A 130 Mega-pixels image is created through combination of 62 x 4MP overlapping images. Spent approximately 5 hours doing this stitch and correcting the little bugs in between. Most of the time spent was waiting for my computer to respond. With 1GB RAM is not anywhere near to process this shot. Took me overloaded 1GB and plus 1.5GB swap space to do most works in PS.

Here it is, a <5% view of the actual 'finish'...

Im off to sleep for now, will post those 100% crop if anyone want to have a peek. :P

C&C needed!

What a kick ass panorama... The only gripe I would have is the dark fore ground but somehow it seems to add depth to the image...

Did you manually stitch?

Print and sell !!!!

The foreground does have plenty of details as I see on my screen, tho the dominant colours/part is still the city itself as I want it to be.

I would love to sell it, but printing this will be a PITA which goes 60inches wide on 300dpi... lol

No, I used the freebie called AutoStitch, its very slow, but does what I need. And ofcourse, being part of cheap man not buying a phase-one back and a MF camera or those Zeitz 120MP freebie is always good. :lol:

I wouldn't mind if I get a regular pay of PP work for all those hours 8)

I've grabbed a few 100% crops from around the sides/corners of the image:

Great stuff Yi-P - the detail and work is awesome. My only question is: is it me or does it seem to have a slight lean to the right?
