Bear in mind that the objective is to grab extraordinary detail of the distant surroundings, if you just want a pretty picture a single wide-angle shot is much easier. Four steps further forward and most of the paving would have been eliminated. Our chosen spot was also to challenging as a location for working, the rock might have made a stable base but there was no room to get round the back of the camera and look at the LCD back in the bright sunshine which might have alerted us to the issue (the Gigapan will sweep the intended pan before you start - if you use Live View you can take a peek). Next time we will be better prepared and much wiser!

The Image

153 frames 19 columns x 9 rows, 105mm Nikkor Time to shoot 13 minutes 40,000 x 15,000 px stitch 28ft x 10 ft nominal output size

CONCLUSIONS

Overall then there is nothing quite like the GigaPan on the market especially at the price, it really is a bargain and as we described in previous issues of Imagemaker, the business opportunities for these large images are quite considerable.
