I spent a lovely afternoon in the city yesterday showing My Linda around. We walked around Darling Harbour for quite a while before heading down to the Rocks and Circular Quay. Sydney really is a very pretty city.While we were at Darling Harbour I took this shot. (click to enlarge)
This photo-panorama is actually a composite of 20 individual photos. Each photo was taken slightly overlapping the previous one, and there were three rows of photos - one across the middle, then a row above and a row below. They were then taken into a wonderful piece of Mac software called Calico, which I think does an incredibly clever job of stitching them all together into a single shot. You don't even need to tell Calico which bits go where... just dump all the photos in and it figures out where the overlaps are.
Windows users might like to look at a similar product called Autostitch.

Chris, I can't help myself. My curiosity has got the better of me. I have read a few times about your 'my Linda'. Who is she? She must be pretty special. :)
Hi Anne, yes indeed, she is very special. :-) She's the one in the Flickr photostream on the left side of the page. She's turned my world upside down, and I love her a lot!
