Gigapan Pics of the Mountain West

I've recently discovered gigapan pics of cityscapes and I want MORE in the Mountain West!

I saw this gigapan pic of Dubai and that got me curious about what has been done for the Mountain West. The Dubai pic is a 45 gigapixel panorama. You can zoom in like you're in a spy movie.

Shanghai at 273 gigapixels

Shouldn't looked at Dubai's before ours. Our "skyscrapers" look like what Dubai would built low rises in a month.
Cool thread overall.

I've always wanted to get into this but I need a new camera desperately. My dSLR is dying a slow death... So once I get new gear, hopefully this winter, i'll be solid.

I just saw this yesterday too, and it made me want to do the gigapan/pixel thing even more:

Thirteen Projects, Nineteen Cranes, One Massive Photo

Stunning shot of Downtown's crane-filled skyline puts the scope of construction boom in perspective.


Totes not Denver btw. We don't have 19 cranes up downtown.

Ugh super jelly. I'm going to go check out that hot sauce again sometime in November.

Here is what's going to happen: I'm more than likely going to check out the roof of the US Bank (Library Tower) when I'm out there next, so my first 'gigapan' will be 1,018 feet up where I can see ALL the cranes. Then, I'm never coming back.
