Blue Mesa Trail 360 - Petrifed Forest - 04/12/09 11:14 PM
Spent a couple of days at Petrified Forest National Park last month. The park is a rock hunters dream (you can look but no collecting inside the park) and provides some really classic southwestern landscapes. If you go, I highly recommend the Blue Mesa Trail walk if you want to see colorful badlands. I have a link to a 360 pano I took at the bottom of the Blue Mesa Trail.
Here is the link to
Google maps to see the location of the area
And here is the link to the 360 pano. You will need java to use the dynamic pano viewer

Hey George,
LOL, looks like you got everything, including the sign on top of the trail!! Stupid question, but when you say '360 degree pano,' that is a full circle, yes? Does what you are showing compare with the horseshoe composite on the google map?

Yes. I was finding the same thing when I attempted a pano of Manhattan last night. The stitches don't look perfect - even though I used EXACTLY the same settings.

Uneven lighting is not really a distraction to me in this wonderful pano. Nice work, it is almost like being there and just turning around to take in the view.
I d/l'ed the trial version.

great pano, makes me want to visit there again,,
Has anyone tried Microsoft ICE for doing panos?? I have tried it and it seems to do a great job, and the price is right. I had one that CS3 would not stitch, ICE did a great job on it with no seams showing at all. Here is the d/l page.
