The Zion Wall

Can you find the hikers somewhere in the image. This image was made with more than 64 separate images. I keep saying the same thing about viewing a zoomify image: zoom all the way in and find something really small (like a tree). Once you are found your thing, grab the little zoom slider bar thingie and move it to the left. Make sure to keep you eye on your small thing. When you zoom all the way out, you will begin to have some sense of scale in the image. Pretty cool eh?

Another Big View in Zion National Park

Here is one more of these really big views. I don't even remember how many pictures I used to make this image. It was something in the magnitude of two rows of 15 images. A few weeks ago I took some more panoramics back in my old haunts on dolly so check back soon for more.

Huge Pano From Zion National Park

Here is one of my first online Zoomify images. It is made up of 58 images in 3 rows of 19. This 332 Megapixel image's dimensions are 33,649 x 9,879 pixels. I have a print of this image that is 16 x 63 inches at over 500 DPI. The largest high quality print of this image at 240 DPI would be 126 inches long and 40 inches tall


I took this image from Angel's Landing looking to the South and West. Aside from all the technical details, the image is a nice representation of the scale and grandeur of Zion National Park. It is so hard to represent the expansiveness of a place on a computer screen. Printing these images in large formats can help, but grand panoramics are still very hard to transfer to the online format.


It is fun to zoom in on a single little tree somewhere in the image and then use the zoom slider below the image to pan back away from the image to see the little, tiny tree in its grand context.
