Very nice! But did you see the creative time/render time?! YIKES!

Time required to capture component images: 1 hour and 12 minutes
Time required to match overlapping images: 20 hours
Time required to optimise project: 4 hours
Time required to compose the image: 3 full days using 5 high-end pcs
Time required to blend seams / correct misalignments / finalise image: 2 days

That is amazing. You can zoom in and read the license plate numbers on the cars perfectly. Big Brother lives.

Yeah , I noticed on the Volvo wagon, the detailers left a 2inch Spot of wax on the front fender, and the right rear tire looks 5psi too low ; ).
Actually what struck me is the barrel distortion, if you look at those cars there Squooshed!

Now that's a big picture! I also noticed the cars look distorted. Also, if you look along the streets on the right side, you'll find some half-people (upper, or lower half missing). Looks very strange. The makers must have had trouble stitching area's with a lot of detail.

ZOMBIES!!!!!

This has been done before with the Grand Canyon, very impressive result.

Apologies,

I seem to have 2 threads going on this subject. We lost our Broadband network just at the time I made the first post. It didn't come back until 18:30 GMT so things got a bit screwed up.

Sorry

Just out of curiosity I imported the bmp into Vegas. You can create quite a good simulation of a helicopter flight around the town. (Just need an authentic chopper sound now)

I've found a window in the distant with a naked coulpe. That'll keep you busy for a while. :)

I found em!
But they are 80 yrs old!
(there's good resolution naked and bad resolution naked) ;o )

They explain some of the artifacts (such as a half-person) on the web site - it's a result of the long exposure time for the photo (1.5 hours).

Yes, but what do they say about the 80 year old naked couple?

Now that's my kind of humour. I love this forum!

Now you never know who's watching.. guess I need to start wearing clean underwear and to quit picking my nose... hate to have that end up on someone's website.

They were only 60 when the exposure started.

Can you tell what time the pic was taken?

There are two clocks visible, showing 3:05 and 3:15, which would be somewhere within the hour and 12 minutes it took to capture all the images contained in the panorama.
