That really does have a WOW factor.

I think you missed my office window - by '   '  that much.

What size font are you using? That's about 4mm on my screen.

Very presentable pic -

Why did you use 2 focal lengths to record the image?

Why did you require such a large end file size?

At 400mm there are regions where you get nothing but (almost) black sky,
which gives no point of reference for the panorama software to be able
to join the photos.  Using 200mm for those areas, and overlapping them
with points of reference from the photos takes at 400mm solves that
problem.

Of course, this means that the areas taken at 200mm (eg, the top left
corner of the image) are interpolated, but as there's no detail in these
areas that's not an issue.

That's something you'll need to ask Adobe!  Best I can work out .psb
files don't have any form of compression. Saving it at a compressed TIFF
over halved the filesize. Using jpeg wasn't an option as it's above the
maximum resolution that jpeg supports.

Try ECW or Jpeg 2000 - zoomable 'wavelet' compressed formats
designed for web viewing of enormous images.  Irfanview can
write both, but the JP2 writer isn't free.  Both need browser
plugins to view.

Just as another question why does your arrow buttons (on the image)work
in reverse?
Joan - 30 Jul 2006 12:16 GMT
It doesn't.  After enlarging, the left arrow moves you left in the
image, likewise the right, up and down arrows move you right, up and
down.

You appear to have the water stitched very well, considering the tidal
and wind changes over 52 minutes.  Any tips about how that was done?
