Hey this is cool! That would be especially good for pictures from slides.

Thanks for the link.

I'm a sucker for shots like this.  The fact that it is stitched from several
images is amazing.

I've stood right there, where you made your images, and photographed the
exact same scene.  Your image is sooo much better than mine!

That's a great National Geographic photo.  The style seems to be out 
of favor but I like them.

exact same image, but since it is only 4 hours from my home I thought I
would give it a shot. If you look closely you can see some boats and in the
full size version (not posted) you can see fishermen in the water.
I say Made this image because it is actually from 10 separate images from
my *istD with FA 28 lens. I shot in RAW and converted in Photoshop. I
stitched together with Panorama Maker 3.0  It was 2 rows 5 wide. Shots were
vertical and then rotated during conversion. The resulting image after
cropping is 4837x3900 pixels.
I also took this shot with my Sigma 14 which just got the entire scene. I
was not happy with it because the 14 that I have is one of the first ones
and is not very sharp and is low on contrast.
With all the discussion lately about full frame sensors and 14 MP sensors
and such, this shows what can be done with just 6 MP camera. I know not all
subjects can be captured with this technique, but it sure works with
landscapes.
The saturation was bumped up a little, but this is about what it looks like
in person.
Comments welcome.

Larry,

I agree with Tom.  It's a wonderful shot.  I like it so much that I put a copy into 
the rotation I use for wallpaper.  Will you be printing big copies of it for sale?

Thanks again to all for the kind words on HorseShoe Bend.

Bob, I'll be getting an Epson 4000 later this summer. When I do, I'll be
able to print up to 17 wide and as long as need be.

Hi!

Need to learn stitching... Need to learn stitching...

Well, enough self-mumbling. This is quite amazing.

Let's see, it is roughly 20 MP. So it can be enlarged for a wall-sized
print and hang there... Then, the only worry would be to avoid the
vertigo...

Well, my wife just dared suggest to make a carpet out of this image.
It is meant as a compliment though. But it the first time I hear such
kind of suggestion.

I am humbled...

Nice shot, Larry.  I recently tried Photoshop CS's Photomerge stitcher, and 
it does look like promising technique.

Hello Larry,

This is an amazing shot.  I am very partial to the red rock country
myself and have enjoyed all your work that you have shared with us.
Seeing this makes me want to take a crack at stitching.  Could you
give a few more details on setting up the shot itself?

Thanks for sharing,


Bruce
