As great as the web is, there’s nothing like looking at a physical print of a photo. Or, at least the full-resolution version of a photo on a computer screen. This is especially true when it comes to panoramas, since they have so much detail.

In processing my photos from India I put together two of the panoramas that I shot, and posted them in high-res (linked below). I used a free flash program called Zoomify which allows you to zoom & pan around the photo. Since it’s based on Flash, almost every browser out there automatically supports it without the need to install a plugin. To prepare the image, I used a small utility (which they provide) that cuts up the photo into small pieces so that only parts are loaded at a time. This is similar to how google maps works.

But enough with the details. Check out the photos:
