Most of the stitched photos that I have seen have been of landscape
shots. I have gotten interested in what all can be done with stitched
photos.

In this test I photographed my old trusty F828, which I still get a lot
of use out of.
The photo is made up by stitching together 10 photos from my 20D. I
used the Sigma 70-300 lens for this set to f/29. This lens has a macro
mode. The full photo is close to 37 MP in size.

This is the photo down sized to 800 x 656 pixels, the white square is
the area shown in detail in the next photo.

This is the 100% crop from the above photo

You can see the effects of salt air on the hardware.

For those who want to see the full image here it is, this is about an 8
MB file.

Dust really shows up at this scale.

Because of DOF issues it is a lot easier to get large photos of
landscapes then small objects, but stitching can give us high res
photos even of fairly small objects.

As always I used PTGui for the stitching, there are other good programs
out there as well.

Interesting project Scott, and well done. Will look into PTGui software.
My last one was manually stitched in 2003.

Great stitch! One part that seemed a little out was the checkering on the
lens grip, it has a slight wave look.

Thanks for sharing that, I really see how much difference there is between
"pano" and "ortho," especially when you look at the roofs (rooves?) I will
have to start doing the ortho method I think. Here is one I did in
photoshop: http://harryphotos.com/panologo.htm the detail is great you can
actually see the guidewires on the tower cranes in the full version.

http://harryphotos.com/clearwater.htm some more stitches. The one I shot
from ground level could have been a lot better with the ortho method I can
see now!

Looking a little closer that could just be how the grip has worn in

You are a brave man Harry.
I could never concentrate on the shot while swinging around in a cherry picker
at 100ft.
Your pictures are great, but pano.4bigjpg.jpg is perfection.

I guess ideally for such a project you'd want some kind of rail system
for your tripod and camera, so you could keep angle and distance the
same as you imaged whatever it was you wanted to?

You should get with that guy who was asking about wall-sized or
billboard-sized product shots from a digicam. Or was that you?
