You can zoom in and pan around on the image. What’s also interesting is the software he used to automatically figure out how to stitch together the 404 photos rather than you having to do it by hand.

I think I saw a topless sunbather
its funny to see things at seams that changed between shots… like the top of the yellow ladder
http://www.autopano.net/ appears to be it.
WOW, amazingly cool.

Found a floating head, left center. It’s real easy, the head is wearing a yellow hat!
Don
Nah – not a floating head. They guy is walking through an opening in the rock.
The demo version of AutoPanoPro worked well for me. It spanked the sticher I was using in Photoshop Elements 3… PS3’s sticher works well when the shots don’t have much parallax errors, but APP corrected for a sloppy, handheld 180-degree panorama I tried as a spur-of-the-moment thing.
I’ve seen a couple of panorams made with handheld VR/IS lenses, and it is making me rethink the idea of plunking-down serious cash for a pano head for my tripod.

WHERES WALDO ?
ok – thats a sweet pic!!
Very cool. Thanks.
I demo’d the software, but my pans have plenty of doubling 🙁
I still have not found a good way to pan stitch.
This is very cool. Brought back a lot of memories.
Did anybody else make “zooming” noises with their mouth when closing in on an unsuspecting tourist? What a cool pic and webpage!
