9 miles of hiking • 3250' elevation gain •

This actually accounts for two trips with the GigaPan on consecutive days. Unfortunately, I'm only posting this now due to a heavy work schedule and the sheer amount of time that it takes to put one of these photos together.

Since trying the GigaPan out for the first time in April, I wanted to come back with a larger lens. Thankfully no one else at my work needed to use the 300mm lens, so I grabbed it for the hike. After getting back home and stitching an initial preview of the pano, the autocorrection had cut out too much of the bottom (the river) for my liking. So after work the next day, I made a second trip to reshoot the bottom portion of the photo, but then just decided on redoing the entire thing. I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of it.

A larger version here.

You need to post it on Panoramio if it allows private gigapans. Superb resolution!

Thanks for the info Roman. It doesn't look like that I can upload a full resolution GigaPan on their website (there's a 50MB limit and this one for instance is over 2GB), but I suppose that I could resize it smaller and link back to a larger version. . . I'll definitely be using Panoramio to scout future locations however!
