At the time of shooting (August 07, 2004) this was my largest and most complex panorama. For this panorama I used 90 images in three rows in portrait orientation. Despite the 5 megapixel of the camera the final image has 32493 x 6171 pixels (that’s ~200 megapixel). It was really tricky to stitch, as the computer was reaching it’s limits in more than one aspect (main memory and hard disk).
Panorama at Aratiatia Rapids
Despite the resolution of only 5 megapixels of one of the original images the stitched image has 55 megapixel due to its high number of source images. For this panorama I used 22 images in landscape orientation.
The Aratiatia Rapids are flooded every two hours from the dammed section of the Waikato river.
Tawhai Falls in Tongariro National Park
This panorama was stitched from three images in landscape orientation. Each of the original images has 5 megapixel. The resolution of the final image is 5120 pixel by 2880 pixel.
Wellington as seen from Mt. Victoria
This panorama in cylindrical projection shows the city of Wellington in New Zealand. I used 8 pictures with 5 MP. The resulting image is 10000 pixel by 2500 pixel in size.
Standing at the Franz-Josef-Glacier in New Zealand (2004)
This image was stitched from eleven images in mixed orientation (landscape and portrait). The final image is 7033 x 3303 pixels
The Remarkables as seen from Deer Park Heights
This panorama in cylindrical projection shows the mountain ridge ‘The Remarkables’ near Queenstown in New Zealand. I used 16 pictures with 5 MP. The resulting image is 13486 pixel by 3089 pixel in size.
Panorama inside Dubai International Airport
This is one of my first more complex panoramic images. For this panorama I used 10 images in two rows in landscape orientation. As the source images were taken without a tripod I didn’t manage to take the images from the no parallax point and hat to do some serious retouching in post. The final image is 8000 pixels by 4000 pixels.
