A wonderful panorama of Quebec city

A local photographer took an amazing panorama of my home city:

Panorama Québec

He used medium format, a motorized tripod setup and took several 4-hours sessions to achieve the result he wanted. He then used commercial software (didn't mention which) to stich the images but had to contact the company so they made a custom version of their software to allow such a large amount of data to be handled by the program.

The level of detail you can see is breathtaking. Enjoy!

Now that is very impressive.

Beautiful shot of a truly beautiful city.

What impresses me is the absence of visible stitching lines almost everywhere.

I found one (stitching line) on my first try, but it is seriously impressive.

What do you use to stitch it together. It looks great.

I did not do this, and as I wrote above, the photogrpaher didn't say, sadly.

You wont get many of these to the average SD card

What a great image, the detail is truly amazing, zoom in you'll see what I mean.

An excellent panorama, right up there with the best!

I shoot panoramas too.. he may have used Gigapan (that pano appears to use the gigapan viewer) or Kolor APG to stitch, they both offer a standalone stitching service, a normal home computer would be insufficient, panos containing that many images need obscene amounts of RAM. I recently shot a 1600-image panorama ( Cusco ) shot with my Pentax K-r and gigapan Epic 100 rig, it stitched on my laptop with only 2gb RAM, but I used gigapan's Efx software, which can handle 2000-image panoramas, but lacks cropping, anti-ghosting, anti-haze and a bunch of other features. Any other Pentaxians interested in this? Maybe start a Pentaxians Panorama section. Pre-processing the K-r's bracketed shots with Photomatix before stitching gives some interesting results: Plaza de Milla, Merida
