eugen: Toronto Skyline at 200 Megapixels I was recently approach by Brad J. Lamb’s team with a particularly interesting project. They had moved into their (gorgeous) new offices and Brad J. Lamb wanted a wall-sized mural of Toronto’s skyline at night for behind his desk. They had been trying to get the shot for a few months before they came to me and the main issue with the previous attempts was that there wasn’t enough resolution for such a large print. Being obsessed with detail in my large scale gallery work I could sympathise with the problem. I managed to get a hold of a GigaPan Pro (thanks Neil Ta!) and after a few tests we were ready to shoot. Access was another issue, the shot needed to be from high up but also feel like you were in the city so shooting from the island wasn’t an option. After several days of back and forth with various locations we managed to get 30 minutes of access to the roof of the Manulife Centre - exactly how long it would take to do a single pass with the GigaPan! Knowing there would be no redos, I triple checked all the settings and started shooting. Everything came together in post and we came away with a spectacular 200 megapixel panorama of the city that was quickly approved by the printer and up within a week or so! I hear it’s quite a hit with visitors to the office. -- source link
