Well done Tarnis in winning over the Orion head! Great image and the zoomify works superbly ![]()

Re: Orlando 3 Gigapixels
Extreme detailed I could read the car brand in parked cars.
I see vertical non blended areas in many places, which blender did you use & how many images in a row?

Re: Orlando 3 Gigapixels
Thanks all. Glad I finally got this to work.
..not sure what the deal is with the non-blended areas, other then they have no links but I don't think that should be the cause. I know some of Gerard Maynard's gigapixel stuff had issues in the sky so figured it was normal. I assume your refering to above the really tall building to the right of the center.
I don't have the numbers on me but I believe it was 9 rows and around 615 pictures total shot with a 20D. Once Alex responded to some of my issues it only took a few hours to get everything placed correctly(most of which was spent waiting) and 5 hours to render.
Next weekend I'll be going down to west palm beach, have gotten permission to goto the roof of the tallest building downtown. Will do some small tests right now, and probably shoot an even bigger pano once it cools down some. Not sure I can deal with sitting on the roof in 100degree heat
Should give me time to get a 50D so will all work out I hope.

Yes that's what I was referring, I saw few areas in left too.

Swamp or Swan
Actually had to clone out 10 or so white swans swimming towards the fountain. That was a joy on an 18 gig file.
Any clues about the sky issue?

Re: Orlando 3 Gigapixels
Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for straightening the buildings? The resolution of the preview isn't high enough for me to accurately draw a line down with the built in straighten tool...or well, this here was the outcome of my using it anyways.

Re: Orlando 3 Gigapixels
With an activated GPU mode, you can zoom in at full resolution, so drawing the line will be really accurate.
The color sky issue happens sometime. I will look at that soon because I have to review the color correction algorithm for HDR integration. A bug may stay in that part of the code.

Re: Orlando 3 Gigapixels
Nice panorama. That is a lot of zoom. Which lens did you use?

Canon 20D/EF 400mm L f5.6
Straightened the buildings I think but now it crashes in windows...and while it renders a bigger psb in ubuntu the final file is still no good
need a raid next paycheck, $200 for two 1.5gig drives from dell...wooo.

Re: Orlando 3 Gigapixels
tarnis,
You don't need huge drives for your RAID, just fast ones, consider it fast temp space or buy one SSD disk for temp :-) I know its a luxurious...I am with on the SSD as soon as I can find the money under the couch :-)

Re: Orlando 3 Gigapixels
On the bottom lefet, you can see the same jogger 4 or 5 times, and I think we see him again in the middle of the pano. Funny ![]()

Re: Orlando 3 Gigapixels
Tarnis.... I live two blocks from where this photo was taken and I am just getting into gigapano photography. I'm putting together my system right now. Would love to get together to compare notes and talk shop sometime.
