Really large photo - Gawadar Panorama

I was talking to FS yesterday and he showed me a really large stitched photo that he took on his trip to Gawadar, Pakistan. It is a really nice snap but the problem is that it cannot be shared on any of the popular photo sharing platforms (Flickr, Picasa etc.). So we started looking for web controls that let you zoom and pan across large pictures. I stumbled upon a really nice Flash control by Zoomify. After 10 minutes of tinkering I got this:

Gawadar Panorama

It turned out to be pretty nice. Don't you just love the internet (age).

Anyway. Tell me what you think.

Shameless self promotion


Recently Schmap.com used one of my photos in their Hamburg City Guide. Its a photo of Museum Ship Cap San Diego. This is what Schmap says about the ship:

The elegant freighter Cap San Diego dropped its anchor for good next to Rickmer Rickmers at its home port's Überseebrücke in 1986. After 120 journeys to South America and two new owners, the fast ship with a capacity of 103,000 tons almost went into the blast furnace, but the Hamburg Senate decided to keep it and turn it into a museum ship. So the White Swan of the South Atlantic, which was built for the Hamburg-Süd shipping company in 1961 and is still seaworthy, is now open to the general public. You can go on one of the daily tours, but there are also additional changing exhibitions, events and cuisine on board
