Description

Now something totally different: a macro panorama! This was not done with the Gigapan head, as I used a 100mm f4 Leica Macro-Elmar on bellows with the E-510, which is significantly too much weight for the gigapan unit.

As you can see,the stiching here worked better. While still not perfect - the minutes hand has a break in it - it's better than the last one! There are also stiching errors at the 16 and 8 markers. This was a 4x4 image, the last one (A11-V) was a 3x3 image. I think I will have to work with a different lens and camera combo to get better results...

To get a feel for the degree of enlargement, the original watch is only 32mm wide, with a 16mm lug size. This is not a ladies watch, but rather this was "normal" for the 1940s. The original 4x4 matrix images were shot at 1:1 magnification...

    Hi - Darn. I just stitched together a 3x2 mosaic of a Gruen vintage watch from 1939, but it's "only" 34MP...

    John, A set of macropanoramas of watches would surely by cool. Keep it up. Happy (macro)gigapanning.

    Hi - Thanks! I hadn't seen these, and I will add the "macropanorma" tag. Cool. Will be posting another one later this evening. I collect watches, and this could be a lot of fun...

    John, Look at gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=174< /a> for the first "macropanorama" (I coined the term in February 2007) posted to the GigaPan web site. Ron Schott and I have posted several macropanoramas each. Search for the Tag macropanorama.
