I just wanted to share a 14-shot panorama of San Francisco taken from Twin Peaks. The photo goes from the Golden Gate Bridge to the east side of the bay. I used Panotools with the Hugin frontend and Enblend. Let me know what you think.
Beware, the panorama is about 2 megabytes. This resized for web version is 640 X 10,190. The original tif image was 1 gigabyte, though!

Very cool! It barely looks real - more like a painting or something. Nice stitching. |

FANTASTIC !!!!
A touch hazy, could have a bit more pop, but the stitching is great, can't see the seams (at least not without searching for them).
Nice job, indeed! |

I actually have seen a panorama like this b/c I took a panorama just like it last time I was in SF. :) It wasn't as nice and crisp as yours though. Seams are pretty much invisible, too. It's really beautiful, thanks for sharing. I love SF. |

OMG, Bryan! I can almost pick out the places I lived there! I have NEVER seen anything like this. When can I come over and see the original on your PC? LOL

Totally amazing shot, Bryan! Very clear and the stitching is excellent. Love the detail of downtown SF. Great work. |

(Can't let that sit too long.)
A resounding HOLY CRAP! That is awesome! |

imagine printing that out!
I actually caught 3 seems pretty fast at first glance. But thats probably because I've worked with a lot of panoramas and am used to it.
It looked very sharp and undistorted though. What focal length did you shoot at? |

You really are doing it backwards aren't you. You're supposed to go from Los Angeles to San Francisco to out of state. :) |

You caught that on the right side, huh? All the shots were taken handheld...the last ones had to be rotated when stitched together. It really screwed up the horizon, but I didn't want to crop it off.

I'm actually getting it printed 6" X 7' at 300 dpi. It should be here in a couple of days. The photos were shot with my 17-40 f4L at 40mm, I think.

Wow, I'm most impressed.
You said that was shot handheld in vertical mode??!!?
Respect! |

No they were shot in horizontal (landscape) mode. I just turned 180 degrees while taking the photos in jpg mode. I tried using raw, but I kept having to hold the camera in one place waiting for the buffer to clear. Ooops, I just went and checked the source files and there were 15 shots that made up this panorama.
