Unfortunately at that size you can see how bad the stitching is on my pic...

The stich isn't bad compared to mine (different view though, in fact I'll go and bugg*r about with it and post it) - what programme are you using dj, Canon PhotoStitch?

Here is is...




...and a couple more

You're right djadams, the road below the bridge is fantastic! Riding over the bridge, as has been said, was almost disappointing...there's no real view to speak of at all.

Been up and down that road below where the bridge now is dozens of times in a 2CV when I used to work in France, long before any work had even been thought of being started on the bridge. Gorgeous part of the world

Going over in the summer on the way to Spain! Anyone watch the program that showed how they built it!! incredible gamble!

I'm a towercrane operator but would still not have fancied building those piers in high winds!! Great view though I guess!

What a fantastic job. How do you become a towercrane op. This ine of those jobs you see peple do but never meet them or know how they became that. Please tell me more.

pm'd you

Working down in Corby/Northampton for 18 weeks so if you fancy a neb then get in touch. If I ask the site manager nicely he might even lend you a vis vest and let you on site on a saturday morning so you get a good idea ?!? maybe but no promises.

Yes indeedy - I've had some pretty good results from it since, like this panorama across Kowloon Bay to Hong Kong Island:



(Where I can happily accept that the waves on the water won't line up!!) But find, I guess pretty reasonably, that with a geometrical subject you need much bigger overlaps to get a satisfactory result. I'l know for next time...

Meanwhile I still find you can get a more dramatic result with a conventional shot just because the clarity is so much better, even my night shots came out better than the stitch...
