Motivation

You are standing on top of a tall building, or a mountain, or a cruise ship. The view is amazing. You want a picture that captures the enormous, the grandiose.

A selfie won’t do. The picture needs to be really big. Much bigger than any camera can capture.

So you need to take a bunch of pictures and stitch them together.

Cozumel, For Example

You can see a big part of the town. Zoom to see individual people going about their daily routine.

The Cozumel picture above is 52,226 x 5,148 pixels – a total of 268,859,448 pixels.
Technical limitations restrict the images you view on this website to about 15,000 pixels in width: less than one third of the resolution of the full-sized image.
