Comments on Gigapan: Rain Forrest Butterflies: Butterfly Wing of the Houston Museum of Natural Science 4/4

  2. Actually, it is called the Cockrell Butterfly Center and Insect Zoo, but I have always heard it as the Butterfly Wing of the Museum. At any one time, it seems like there may be thousands of butterflies in this enclosure and in this particular panorama, part of the dome is visible and below it is the artificial rain for...

    Your 15-row panorama is impressive for its depth of field. What knocks me out about this image is that you managed to keep your place whilst covering five columns as well as eight rows. I can imagine doing this myself - just about - if I used a tripod, but hand-held? No way. If you can do this consistently then you will have a significant advantage over mere mortals who have to use a gigapan imager to achieve the same effect because you will be able to get into places where the imager can't be used - eg the top of the Hilton (hint). This image (tinyurl.com/lgmzdd Will open in a new tab or window) still fills me with envy :-)

    Thanks, I have taken a 15-row panorama before, www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id= 28119, but this one you are impressed with, I was most surprised that it stitced, where as with the Mechanical Engineering Tower panorama, I knew it would stitch, which obviously it did and the entire range of depth-of-field is in focus.

    I know from experience how difficult it is to take a hand-held gigapan with more than one row when you are stitching with the gigapan stitcher, so I am really impressed by this shot. Eight rows? EIGHT rows?! Amazing. Does anyone know if this is a record?
