Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Abu Dhabi, UAE - 60 gigapixels

Not uploaded anywhere yet. The tiles are over 12 gigabytes ( yikes ), and there's a bug in PTP that results in some minor display issues (I have to force it to be a 359 degree pano, then edit the XML back to 360).

Hopefully the images below will give you a sense of the detail in this:

How did you solve the focus issue ? Focusstacking ?

Re: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Abu Dhabi, UAE - 60 gigapixels

It's far from perfect. No opportunity to do any focus stacking - it was tough enough just getting one set of shots off - so there are problems such as this:

Seeing it in full resolution for the first time has also highlighted quite a lot of stitching errors that I hadn't noticed before. The real problem is that there are quite a number of examples where it is impossible to get a decent stitch because of different focus on the overlapping images. I spent the best part of a week putting in manual control points, but it was pretty much guesswork at times.

Not really sure where to go with this now. It might not actually end up going on the web - will need to have a good think about my options.

A beautiful image.  I hope you get the opportunity to return and try the pano again.

Amazing work - just getting access is a challenge in it self. I find the problem you are showing about to happen alot and its very frustrating. If you do find a solution let us all know.

It looks soooo beautiful! Absolutely stunning.

what are your shooting specs f/stop shutter speed? did you use a motorized head?

can't wait to see the final

OK, I decided to upload it. Seemed a waste just sitting on my PC.

http://08.ae/panos/SZM60/SZM60FS.html

A few file transfers went awry, but with over 170,000 uploaded, I guess that shouldn't be a surprise!

Please don't re-share outside this forum. This is on a shared hosting account. If it gets too much traffic, I'll have to remove it.

Re: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Abu Dhabi, UAE - 60 gigapixels

It is already looking very promising. Some weird light and some smoothing needed but that should be no problem with the support here.
I hope you have more panoramas of the building and can make it into a tour.
