PotW 10.10.06

Postby Glen on Tue Oct 10, 2006 1:27 am

original thread here

larger image here

This weeks pic of the week is somewhat unusual as it has been stitched together to create a 130mp image! Starting with D70 output, member Yi-P stitched images together to create this 130mp image. Click on the larger image (it is not 130mp here!) to see the detail, it really is quite amazing. This shows what can be done with patience and skill, luckily due to modern software it only took 5 hours to stitch this image together. Well done Yi-P.

Absolutely amazing!

You should feel triple proud of your efforts getting POTW this week... the competition was very good.. But this is a great photo by Y-IP and a great choice by Glen...

There you go people, your d70 has a higher resolution than you think!

Congratulations - I took the time to look at the 'large' image, and it had me wishing for a bigger screen that the crappy one on my laptop :) Beautiful, and wonderfully put together !!!

Thanks Glen for the selection of POTW and everyone here :)


I'm glad that this effort have come to work well. Spending hours waiting for each process to complete. As you wont believe how photoshop hated this image, it used up 800MB RAM + 1.5GB swap space to keep it running... lol each clone stroke takes 30sec to 'compute' the results. But Im very happy about the final results 8) Time to cheer up now



Ohh, who wants to take a look at the 130MP image?? :lol: :lol:
