Description

This GigaPan was shot early in the morning from the Windy Ridge viewpoint in the eastern portion of Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. At 1900 input images it took two hours to shoot and almost a full day to stitch on my brand new workstation. But the result is all I had hoped for and more. Now that I've finally broken the ten gigapixel barrier, I'm eager to push the outside of the envelope even further...

    Congratulations Ron, great shot! I wonder why you needed 1900 images for 11 Gp?. How much overlap did you define? I did brake my 10Gp barrier last Sunday with this one: http://gigapan.org/gigapans/57515 My camera has 12Mp and I use 30% overlap per default ...
