I was amazed at the sheer amount of detail present in agunther's Machu Picchu image that he posted a few weeks ago, here. After reading Andre's tutorial :thumb on creating high resolution panoramas, I headed down to Coronado island this weekend to try a skyline shot of San Diego. This is the result of a 2x15 image panoramo from my 350D with 70-200 @ 200mm. The final resolution is a little over 130 megapixels.

Exposure: ISO 400, f/11, 10s.
Here is a link to a larger version of the image.

    Hi Andrew........ these scaled down images for the net never do the original justice do they.

    The sewing lookings pretty good, but the image looks hazey???
    ....Okay I just looked at the larger image, and it looks much better thumb.gif

    Yep that link to the larger image shows it much clearer, you'd be pretty darn proud of the result I bet :D a really nice image you have there Andrew ........thanks for sharing........ Skippy (Australia)

    It was a very muggy evening with a lot of moisture hanging in the air. I will be back to try again on a clear night. Sharpness of the individual images is not too good either - there was a brisk wind that ended up causing vibrations even with the tripod weighted down, but I guess its not completely unexpected to need a more stable platform when using a 200mm lens in place of what would previously have been a 17mm.
