Thank you

Here you go, a screen shot of the image size box, uncropped, hardly touched and the image set to 200ppi. Are you telling me a 13mp 5d can shoot at those dimensions @ 200ppi?

What software were you using to stitch the photos together?

Photomatix Pro 3 for all the exposure merges, then Autopano Pro for the panoramic stitching.

I have the PM settings down to a T so it will constantly give me the right tonal range. I've found that AP is very smart software for alignment and tonal merging.

I should do a little tutorial if anyone would be interested.

I'd be interested, I've used PTGUI for stitching together photos to then make Quicktime VR's, but never used autopano.

What are those programs like to use?

A massive fucking pain, you need to make sure every single point is mapped out properly otherwise the resulting panorama/VR doesn't look right.

A good wideangle lens helps massively though, as you don't need to stitch so many photos together that way.

Wow, definitely get Autopano Pro then. I rarely have to change anything. I guess I over shoot the shit out of a shot for a pano (At least 50% overlaps)

I shot every image @ 70mm on the 70-200 for the above image. I found that shooting for high res stitches at that focal length gives like a large format sort of focal compression.

This is just brilliant

Yes, he is. Just don't bother.

Anyway I think the image is amazing. I love the stormy sky.
