I have spent *hours* in train stations all around England... this GigaPan brings back lots of memories. Do you have Stitcher Notes for this GigaPan?

How annoying - you can't export the stitcher notes as a text file, nor (in Windows) can you copy the text from the Stitching Notes window ... Anyway, the important bits are: Canon 400D Aperture f/32 Exposure time 1/13 Horizontal overlap 40.8 to 86.5% Vertical overlap 33.0 to 39.2% I used a tiny aperture (and correspondingly long exposure) in order to maximise the depth of field. I think it was quite a successful experiment because the nearest column on the left is quite sharp, as are the two Bristol Temple Meads signs on the left and the pink and blue block of flats which are effectively at infinity. I keep meaning to experiment with the camera and try out different apertures when *not* taking a gigapan, but the idea of not taking a gigapan when I have a camera in my hand seems to be rejected my brain. Your panos are excellent for their sharpness. What do you think of this one of mine? Do you think the focus is too soft given that I am using a DSLR with a reasonable lens (it's the 18-55mm 'kit' lens).
