Thought someone might enjoy this one, it's pretty impressive :

Apparently AutoPano Pro can handle this much data now. (Guy - if you're reading and never got your biggest panos to work, you might want to give your big ones a go with the new software - if you didn't get too fed up last time.)
Thanks David!
I actually did manage to stitch my 102 (or so) image panorama on my new Mac. The thing I found out though was that due to the large time lapse between frames, some of the foreground had shifted in the wind and didn't appear as sharp as I had hoped. Oh well, it was an interesting experiment.
Impressive technically, but a pretty mundane photo (most of these big pano experiments lack any sort of mood or flavor or artistic merit - but then that is not what the experiment is about!). That sky sure is full of chunky rectangles which I find really distracting. The next level will be getting these things perfected technically AND then having the photo with solid design, composition, lighting, and story. Darwin
Agreed Darwin - the timespan over which the photos are taken preclude many of the standard nature shots from being used. The sky is a good example in this case. Either someone is going to have to find a way to creatively used the timespan, or the subject will have to remain constant over the time.
As far as solid design, composition, lighting and story go, Guy's shot was very strong. Too bad about the wind, Guy.
technically great but other than that it is destined for 'round file'...oops delete button I mean. It is still quite challenging to create a good panorama print using 'stitching' technique compared to traditional panorama camera imo.
