A bend in the Nolichucky River near Erwin, Tennessee presses against a rock cornice known locally as "Devil's Looking Glass" (see USGS topography map for location at topozone.com).

This photo above is a crop of the photograph at right, which is an extreme 180° panorama, taken in the river. (See the larger version of the panorama at right.)

Comprised of 135 photographs (five rows of twenty-seven images, ISO 100, 1/80th @ f/8), the photo required around ten minutes to complete. The individual photographs were assembled using AutoPano Pro. It took a computer over five hours to complete this full resolution composite. The final size is a whopping 23,250 x 9725 (226,106,250) pixels, or 226 megapixels, for those who find such information of interest.

Into what do these technical details translate? The bottom line is that digitally combined composite images will yield superbly detailed prints. All I can say is you have to see it; drop by the McDonald's in Erwin, Tennessee, for a closer look.
