And since I’m a generous person you can take a look at the (nearly) full resolution picture right here:

==Created using the export to Zoomify feature of Photoshop CS3 Beta==

If you think the resolution and sharpness is far from great, you can feast your eyes on this zoomified picture instead.

I could have produced a better panorama if I hadn’t shot the pictures at 17mm, but since it was hand held it was the best choice at the time. I may just go back there and perhaps shoot it at 70mm. In which case a tripod would be very welcome.

One of the great thing of panoramas is that they can grow to pretty big resolution images. And such images are quite suitable to be printed… BIG. And that’s just what I’ve done:

==Framed at Moldura Minuto, Norte Shopping (Portugal only as far as I know)==
