I'm sorry if I was not clear in my question

I use autostitch all the time, I'm just not sure how you took the pics. Are they a lot of pictures taken with a zoom lens?

And how did you get the nice zooming thingy? Is that the website that hosts it?

pictures are taken from a hill on a tripod with a superzoom camera (a.k.a bridge, prosumer ...), cameras which can zoom in alot. I usually use a kodak z8612 (12x optical zoom) but for this one i borrowed a fuji finepix s8000 (18x optical)

Ah, I see

No use trying this with a resonably good 300m lens then, I guess. Cheers.

300 should be good enough

300mm and 12MP i guess would be about as good as an 8MP and 450mm equiv. Also this was a fairly narrow field of view, if you can find a vantage point that fills more of the view, you can go bigger just by going wider/taller. another recent image crept over a gigapixel at only 150mm equiv just because it went the whole 360 degrees

and even if you dont manage a gigapixel, a few hundred megapixels is still enough to make a pretty impressive picture

I think I will give it a try then

when I can think of a subject with a nice vantage point

oh and the hosting

is on gigapan, a site for people to share large images, the viewer is embedable, hence is embeded on my site.

some images are hosted in my own webspace with the zoomify viewer (zoomify.com i think)

Cheers for that

gigapan? Sounds like indutrial sized spanging imminent ;)
