alt= //ppI always thought of panoramic photos as gimmicky. There’s a reason you frame a shot; that’s what a good photographer does. Then I saw a href=http://www.davidbergman.net/blog/2009/01/22/how-i-made-a-1474-megapixel-photo-during-president-obamas-inaugural-address/David Bergman/a’s 1,474 megapixel panoramic shot of the Obama inauguration and the detail is astounding. You can pick a random person out of the crowd and zoom in on them to near recognizability. He used the GigaPan, which allows you to attach any point and shoot camera and it will shoot and stitch the photos together to create one gigapixel image. The inauguration gigapixel photo is composed of 220 images and took 6.5 hours for the program to stitch into a single image. I bet the Secret Service took a good look through these faces in the crowd post-inauguration. |via a href=http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/the-gigapan-epic-076654Apartment Therapy/a|br //p
