Land (57 megapixel + a few lower res shots.)

Wondering what you think of the composition on this one.

This is called an equirectangluar panorama, I took it for a friend/realtor, some acreage in Port Orchard, WA

I repeat, shockwave player is required, view the immersive before commenting.

It took ~140 photos to put this together, the full size is over 115 megapixels, the TIFF weighs in at over 400mb

Technical Details:
Camera:
Canon A570 IS
---Shutter Speed 1/160
---Aperture: F7.1
---ISO: 80
~140 times :P
Conversion Lens
--Digital Concepts 0.5x Wide Angle
"Tripod"
--Custom, just a device for visual reference so each shot had the lens in approximately the same point in space.

For the blue box at the bottom (which shows seams), I plan to make a "cap" that tells the address of the property, listing number, etc.

What I'd really like is suggestions on shooting acreage. When you're shopping for land, what kind of photos are helpful? The local realtors really need help, and it's a way I can get on land I normally dont get on without the need to be discreet or sneaky and get all new photo ops, plus there's the compensation side of it.

need help on informative composition, visual appeal, also suggestions on how to get good exposure, including the sky, would be great, I'm not sure HDR is suitable...though I could make the effect more subtle.

Nothing like having an 'in'!

I'd edit the original post, but for those that tried to view the immersive...57 megapixels may have been a bit much for most computers. I replaced it with a 2.6 megapixel version (589kb vs 3mb)

it now loads much faster and doesnt look too bad.


Now that it's a *sane* size, do you think this is something that would be good for real estate ads?

Any tips greatly appreciated.

let me know if you're interested in seeing it at 116 megapixel :lol:
