45 Gigapixel photo taken of Dubai as a technical test on 23rd April.

Just came across it in a South African phtography magazine and thought I would share.

and a direct link to the 45 Gigapixel shot. Canon 7D taking 4250 photos. (Which I havent managed to open but it seems to be doing something)

Sorry if this is a repost btw, couldn't find anything about it.
 
Some dodgy stitching in that pic. ;) And not sure about the distracting fence in the foreground.

Not many people on the streets either. :lol:

The other Gigapixel images I've seen have been perfect.


A nice technical achievement but it would have been nice if it is an interesting scene, and technically perfect.
 
How big is something that isn't printed...:shrug:

Its a big file but fits on a bit of plastic smaller than a stamp.
What exactly is the achievement, is it just a technical thing ?
 
Saw another one of these I think of Prague or Budapest that was much more interesting. A hazy, badly stitched picture of a huge dusty building site doesn't really excite me, however many pixels it is.
