The Eagle is the Royal Air Force memorial put up in 1923, no connection to the USA. Posted by derek |

Hi, Thanks for the comments. The original size for this image came out at nearly 3.5 gigabytes, I had to reduce this a little bit. The final image is composed of apx 673 individual images and took 55 minutes to shoot. Posted by SuperZoom |

Hi, I've only just come across the Gigapan 'world' through a small mention in Technology Review. Apologies of this is not the correct place to ask this question. I notice on some of the panoramas that the images do not join correctly, expecially on hard architectural detail. On this particular panorama you can see it clearly in the building with a light on it in the middle foreground on the left hand side just below the Millenium Wheel. Also on the clock face of Big Ben. Is this created by the system or an effect of the photography? I know with multi-image HDR photography it's best to use a fixed aperture when shooting the images, othewise the depth-of-field can change from image to image, making focused registration impossible. Is this a similar problem? Posted by Patrick Collins |

The artefacts that you have noticed are software glitches, as the stitching software that we are using is still in beta as indeed is the whole GigaPan project and is still being tested and refined by the scientists involved. You have noticed correctly that there are still some issues in regards to architectural images and shift rendering algorithms to some extent. Fixed aperture and focus were maintained throughout. Thanks for your enquiry. Posted by SuperZoom |

Ear, superzoom, the snapshot tagged Homeless, i kept zooming in then out (as you do) and i cant get the image of a baby with a dummy in its mouth wearing a wooly hat like a pixies hat out of my mind. Do you see it? Or is it time for my medication!! Know wot i mean son? Enjoyed the pictures anyway, seeing as i am a "geezer" who was born in London. Now, i had better get back to me bunnies cos if i leave it too long i,ll have to find 3 times as many!! If you see what i mean john? Posted by jwgacy |

Yeah jwgacy, it is a very powerful image within an image, I do get told this regularly. I don't rightly know if it's a baby, a dog or a soft toy but yes it' looks well strange. Posted by SuperZoom |

Fantastic!! I love this shot. Out of interest, how long were each of the exposures? Posted by aliceralph |
