I whent on a little Photo walk here in Kolding Denmark, this weekend. Where I go to school at the moment.
I took few panorama shots but there is one that sticks out of the pile, it contains 90 picture, 3 rows with 30 pictures each.
(Old record was 50 pictures in one.)
Here is a small preview of the final outcome (sorry for a long Photo)

Here is a 100% crop from the picture, I have sharpened the crop a little but done no other retouch on it. The crop is a little to the right from the center.

It would be great to get some comments on it, and yes it is for sale as well if you need some wallpaper on your wall. The final outcome is about 4-5 meters in 300dpi. (Havent got the exact number at the moment)

That's awesome! How long did it take to construct? Good patience.

That looks amazing,
I would get it printed just for the hell of it to see what it looks like when fully opened up at 100%.
Bet it would great.
just out of curiosity what would you sell it for?

Amazing picture!
What did you use to stitch, and did you need one of those fancy panning tripod heads?

I agree, nice pano. Would look great on the wall.
I am also curious what you used to stitch them together. Looks like some of the blending could be better (sky is where it's most apparent). Also, did you lock exposure/white balance?
These can be great fun to do, I have never tried anything near this big. |

Very impressive effort. The aspect looks a lot narrower than the 1.25 (4 X 5 meters) you suggested. The images merged well. Do you stitch the three up images first and then make one giant row or what? I've never did more than a single row panorama but want to try it. There are great panoramic scenes in this area to capture for large scale prints.

Used PTAssembler for merging, I stich every picture together at a time, its not good to take one row at a time.
What I ment with 4-5 meters it is going to be between 4 and 5 meters wide, I havent put the full image together as that is going to take about 2-3 weeks, and I just shot this this weekend.
The price on it has not been decided yet but if someone is interested then mail me, olihar@olihar.com
No I used a normal tripod head, but I really want a decent panorama head for my work, would make things so much easier.
Yeah it will be great to see this as a full version on a wall somewhere, I allready have one on my wall thats about 2 meters wide. Can be seen here.

It didnt take me that long to make this as this is just a preview, took overnight to do a little bit bigger preview, that is about 1.5 meters wide.
Sky is always very hard to blend together, but when its developed or printed its not as obvious.

That explains why the posted version is so narrow.
I agree that, even when shooting with manual white balance, ISO, shutter speed and exposure time settings, that sky color is still hard to blend. I don't really understand why that should be. Seems it should not.

| How long does it take to capture all those images? I mean, don't the clouds move as you take it, so they won't really be lined up?? I have no idea, never done this sort of thing, but it looks really fun. |

This was pretty quick, just looked through the camera and shot away, Usually I give my self a little more time for it. Probably about 3 sek on each photo in average.

Well - I am impressed!
Where would you get something like this printed out though? |

Very cool. I would also like to know where to get one printed once I make my own.

Just look for a large format print company, or some company that can process a photo like that with lasers or Leds. There is one place back home that uses that tecnology and its the best quality I have seen so far.

With PTAssembler, did you use enblend?
If so, you may want to try smartblend. Not sure if there are any limitations other than 8-bit (it doesn't do 16bit). But, it works *much much* quicker, and in my limited experience, gives better results.
Worth a try at least. :-) |

Thanks for sharing. That’s some awesome work!
You guys just taught me about PTAssembler (Got it) and that led me to this Panosaurus .
Once again DPC has inspired me to lean more and continue to put a hurt on my bank account! :) I am going get one and try my hand at it. |

You may also want to try Autopano PRO, which can do the stitching or use the control files generated by PTAssembler |

Very nice work, including your others on your site. I'm curious how big the filesize is on something so large? Did you shoot jpeg or RAW? Please tell me you weren't working with 30 16-bit tiffs from a RAW conversion, that would be enormous! :-0
I'm going to Arizona/New Mexico in a month, I have to try this out there. Thanks for the inspiration! |

I got my Panosaurus on Saturday. It was raining all weekend for the most part and could not get out to try it.
It seems very well made and light. It was easy to put together.
I have not gone through the finding the optical center procedure but I will be after I shoot for the challenges. Seems a very good deal for a Pano Head. Some I priced were over $800.00.
I got the elevated platform for my super wide so the total with shipping was $96.00
I am excited to give it a try!
Will report back soon! |

I decided to try out the Panosaurus it should be on its way in the mail at the moment. Its going to be interesting to see how it works. The one I want at the moment is the Manfrotto SPH303 but Panosaurus will do for now.
