We have been overwhelmed by the response to our recent Hyper Definition Image of Cape Town and appreciate so many people taking the time to write comments and send us mails.
As a show of our appreciation, we’ve dusted off another Hyper Definition Image we took from Signal Hill earlier this year and converted it to our new (slicker) viewing format.
It’s technically less impressive (2 gigapixels vs the 9 gigapixels of the more recent image), but I still like it more…….even though the stadium wasn’t done yet.

Also, follow us on twitter @Daily_360 for updated on our next Hyper Definition Image – we’re working on another 4!!.

I always love to see the beauty of our country and province.Good idea putting it up for us to remind us about the beauty around us and what we can do to keep it that way and also improve on it. Thanks
This surely gives more meaning to all of us that not only say it out load, but also belive that ” Cape Town is by far THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY in the WORLD. Much appreciated
Hi Tinus.
These gigapixel panorama,s are great !!!
How did you take the photo,s did you start at 0 and end at the 180 degree mark when camera is mounted on tripod and what kind of camera and lens did you use ? I heard that you will need at least a 70mm-200mm lens to take such HD panorama,s with a special router device to move camera on tripod.

my wife is moaning in the background because I am spending to much time in front of the computer … these pictures are just too incredible! Excellent work!
great pix keep it up
Why did you opt to do it in Flash instead of using the Google Maps API, which does not uses standards-compliant html & javascript?
The flash player has the ability to ‘warp’ the image to create the illusion that you are standing ‘in the middle’.
It also make overlays (to be added later) easier – for us, that is.
It might be that Maps API would work better for overlays, but it’s a question of working with what you know – hope that makes sense.
Your pix is awesome,modern technology can really do amazing things.cant wait for more.Terry Fortune
