and the point of such a photo?
 11/16/2004 11:05:39 PM · #4
Coooool!


I don't know... it seems to lack something. Maybe a true subject of interest? Maybe it's just that it doesn't follow the rule of thirds...?
I think it might be better in sepia tone. Or at a different time of day?

(and what do they mean that if it were printed it would be a specific size?...I know I'm risking showing my ignorance--but what is it pixel per inch?)


Thanks for the link! Cooooooool!

This is a film approach to maximum rez. The 2.5GP image is a digital approach with stitching. Just think of the possibilities. I mean, Claudia Schiffer's moll would have to be ten feet wide.

Yah, now imagine them using Canon's 1200mm f/5.6L Super Teelephoto lens with a Canon 1Ds Mark II 16.7 MP camera and taking 1000 photos and stitching it up...17GP photo...:)

If you read the notes on the photo, they address some of the phantoms from the stitching.

Wow...very cool...pictures from my own back yard.

I see where their going with this one, that's black's beach down over the side. I have accidently come home with some clothing optional pictures when shooting the hang gliders there (It don't take much of a lens either).

Edit: grammar

OMG, top dead center is the clock. Great spotting. It took over an hour to take the 600 images.

I'll bet it's just a P-73 with some good unsharp mask.

Photo Artifacts

Many: military, civilian policing duties, public surveying, gaming (i.e., environments), scientific, urban growth monitoring...

This is such old news. The guys on CSI have been making photos like this from images of the reflections in people's eyes for years :)
