    Great pictures Sid! I'm liking the Pano.

    Just think how great your pictures could be if you lived someplace that actually had a view.
    If you haven't grown up by age 50 ... you don't have to!

    Well Mopar, don't put yourself down, the camera isnt all that complicated, its a regular Digital SLR with a kit lens, nothing fancy.

    and just to clarify, although the Acropolis image looks like it is 1 photo, in actuality it is comprised of 37 separate images.
    each of the images is 12 megapixels.
    the final output of these images is 25000 x 5000 Approximately.
    the dead spots are cropped out and you are left with the usable panorama

    im currently working on a static panorama made up of 136 images. that one is a bit of a pain.. once its done i will post it here as well..

    Great pics sid ,what a place of important human history.In this technology of today we use cranes to build .They didn't have any and we still can't copy thier workings. Who's more advanced?
