Yosemite Panoramic Imaging Project

This panoramic image of Yosemite Valley, when printed at full resolution, stretches to more than 50 feet in length. It shows a seamless view of the north wall of Yosemite Valley displaying cliff detail from the Rockslides (left) to Snow Creek (right), a total distance of approximately eight miles. This unprecedented image represents a previously unseen view of Yosemite Valley......

The National Park Service and xRez Studio have created one of the world’s largest photographic images, an amazingly detailed photographic map of Yosemite Valley. Seeing is believing, and believe me, you won’t need to squint!...




I cannot get any "fly-over" function to work, but the images really zoom in for incredible high resolution detail of selected valley areas

Yup. It's amazing.

Thanks

Very cool link and project. By "seeing it", are you referring to the links at xrez or the exhibit of the actual print shown here? ...
