Wow, I have no clue what you are talking about,....COOL!
I meant how did you get that many photos put together to make a complete picture that doesn't look like more than one picture?
Ah! That.
Well first you have to get your camera set up on a tripod as level as possible (not the easiest thing, I didn't get it perfect this time). Then you shoot the series of frames.
There are a variety of programs that can stitch images together for this kind of thing, starting with the little programs included with a lot of digi cams (bad), photoshop (does an OK job) and then dedicated stitching programs like RealVis (I don't like it) and one other that I can't remember the name of (which was the good one). There are a bunch out there I haven't even tried too.
I used Photoshop for this, it automatically analyzes and aligns the image but it's not perfect so it then took quite a bit of effort to correct the stitching errors. Apparently my tripod wasn't perfectly level so I've been battling with getting everything straight so I can print the panorama. It's not that easy for me to go back to Cincinnati and reshoot it so I have restitched that after rotating each image slightly and I think it's better, but I don't know if it's perfect.
The full stitched image is equivalent in size to a 45 megapixel image.
