The Majesty (my largest photo ever)
If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!
This is one of the largest pieces I have ever made; the giant TIFF is about 21,000 pixels across (this one I uploaded is only 15,000 pixels across and has been downgraded to JPEG to fit inside the draconian upload requirements). I shot it one cool and crisp morning at Glacier National Park in this crystal clear lake that is fed by glacial runoff. It is comprised of 90 different photos that took a small eternity to mix together into an epic HDR. I've been thinking about having a 10-foot mural printed at walk-up resolution... but I am not quite sure where I would put it!
If you want to see the big size, click on ALL SIZES at the top to get to the largest size to see the detail, should you be so inclined!

Wonderful panoramic..

What an astounding job. I've never tried stitching HDRs - the RAM requirements to process this must have been enormous (or you had to spend an age waiting for paging!). This phenomenal image was well worth the wait though.

Wow.
That is certainly impressive. Looks like it would have required an entire render farm to churn out the image
Guess this is the next hip national park to backpack through.
