Stitched image mimicking LF

Quentin/Marc,

Very nicely done... The craftsmanship and intricate stonework/glass detail in the old cathedrals is simply amazing and must be a real challenge for keeping details in the myriad of shadows while avoiding blown highlights

Here's one for Chocolate lovers ...

Mimickiing 617 maybe? Two frames Aptus 75S, Contax 45mm.

Hey Doug, how do you get such a large image to appear in your post? I thought 900 pixels was the max :wtf:

Can you relate the step-by-step process for dummies please?

I just linked it with the Insert Image icon.

I've been mimicking 6X12 with a DSLR, pics on the 'Jerusalem Old City' thread in the images section. On LF I found that for the required DOF for a 'normal FOV' I needed f128 by which time I was losing most of the resolution benefits and the shutter speeds were impossible with moving foliage, etc. Then you have to add the film costs, drum scans, etc. With Autopano Pro I get 30 megapixel files from 5-8 frames and a finished file in a couple of hours between stitching and PS work and to be honest I don't even need that good a lens given how much resolution there is, I use F22 a lot and although the diffraction is certainly there, relative to the print size it's a non issue. This image was shot at f22 on a relatively inferior zoom lens and at 32 megapixels has more resolution than is needed for it's maximum print size of 30X15".
