I am back home, and I can now post with proper speeds.
However, I have more than 5000 images to sort out...

Here is one of the best panoramas:
Petralona Cave in Chalkidiki, Greece.
The cave is very important for the evolution of humans, as the petralona skull was found there.
This has been dated to 700.000 years before today and it is the oldest human skull found in Europe. You can read more in www.aee.gr

The panorama is made of 44 images (11 cols by 4 rows).
The angle of view is about 190 X 90 degrees.
The Zeiss Distagon 2/35 ZE has once again proven itself as the best lens for panorama shooting. This was shot at f/5.6, focus was on the sign.
I am excited about the very low degree of distortion in the image.

Sorry for the watermarks (taking photos is not allowed in the cave).
This is work done for the Anthropological Association of Greece, of which I am a member.

See full resolution please.



Note:
It was literally raining in the cave after a week of rain outdoors. The humidity was incredible.
I had to enter gradually, in order not to damage my camera and lenses. I also had to breath away
from the camera. Taking 44 shots in this way, was not exactly easy...

I was the first to say that Sad
It was the only way to post a high-res image without potential trouble.

This image starts to get interesting at 2500 pixels wide.
If only you could see it at 18000 pixels wide (about 215 MP)...
