Do you like panorama photographs?
Based οn qυеѕtіοnѕ I’ve read іn here thеrе seems tο bе аn interest іn mаkіng panorama photos. Apparently іt саn bе complicated аnd time consuming. In thе June issue οf Rangefinder Magazine thеrе wаѕ аn article аbουt thе company GigaPan аnd thеіr system fοr mаkіng panoramas. Thе mοѕt legendary tο date іѕ thе one οf Obama’s inauguration, taken wіth a Canon G10. I’d lіkе ѕοmе opinions οf thеіr system – іѕ іt something уου′d υѕе?

I like before a live audience around with the Gigapan images, I have to admit that I have unquestionably no will to make one for myself though.
The same goes for any panorama to be honest, I delight in looking at them but I am not a huge fan of shooting landscapes/cityscapes and have no intention of making one for myself (at least for now), I like looking at them though.
One of my favourites, comprised of 35 shots..

That’s the sort of image I would print on picture to hang on my wall.

I’ve taken loads of ‘normal’ panoramas over the years,

but Gigapan have taken it to new level with the addition of zoom. Would I use it? Probably not unless I get commisions from museums and the like for their interactive exhibits.
I used Autostitch for these

which does a much better/simpler job than PS.
