Meeeeeeega-panorama, Sydney Harbour Bridge Pylon Lookout, NYE 2007

This journal entry is really an image, and there are a couple of reasons for this. One is that the image is so massively big that uploading it as art here wouldn’t do it justice, and secondly, the image when viewed up close is a little rough, not the stuff of portfolios. Nonetheless it is certainly an interesting image that I’d like to share…

On New Years Eve, around 3 in the afternoon, I paid the measly sum of $10 to ascend the Sydney Harbour Bridge Pylon lookout, and while not as fun as the BridgeClimb, you can take your camera up this one and it represents great value for money. While I has up there, I shot a handheld (!) panorama consisting of over 350 images. You can see the result by clicking on the thumbnail below…

There are a few badly stitched bits (missing top of bridge, city buldings crooked), but it was hard enough work as it was :) The interface on the site is designed to let you explore the image, so pan around and zoom, zoom, zoom!
