At the California state capitol building in Sacramento, there are some lovely rose gardens and memorials to the fallen veterans from several wars. This panoramic picture was taken there in June, 2013. (Click to enlarge.)
This 360° picture combines twenty images of 2592 x 3888 pixels (10 megapixels) taken with a Canon Rebel XTi DSLR into an image of 20872 x 4033 pixels (84.1 megapixels).
As a side note, I ran the Panorama Factory software manually to create this image and decided to leave the image untrimmed at the top and bottom. (For comparison, this image from the Camarillo air show last week was trimmed.) The major difference is that an untrimmed image will give you some information about where the different frames are matched up, how much they overlap, and how distorted the software had to make them to fit “flat” with the other images.
I sort of like it this way. Others prefer the “neater” trimmed look. Any preferences or comments?
