Posted May 12, 200916 yr this is pretty cool and fun to play with. it's a 13 gigapixel panorama of harlem. you can zoom in and jump around anywhere you want: http://www.harlem-13-gigapixels.com/ we should do this!!
May 12, 200916 yr I wish I could do that. That was awesome. I know, that guys has a bigger toy that MayDay. That guy better be careful or MayDay might knock him and take his toy. lol lol
May 12, 200916 yr I'd just be happy with a camera like Sherman's. Then I would be able to do a pano this nice with the right stitching software. I just read that this photo was made with multiple high-res photos, taken with a Nikon D2x and each image was about 12mb. Then all the photos were stitched together using a photo stitching program. It would be awesome if someone made an actual 13 gigapixel camera but omg that would be as much as a new BMW 750Li haha. this is pretty cool and fun to play with. it's a 13 gigapixel panorama of harlem. you can zoom in and jump around anywhere you want: http://www.harlem-13-gigapixels.com/ we should do this!! We probably could do it. A lot of us forumers have DSLR's and probably some of us have some nice photo stitching software. With enough cooperation and time it's probably possible to do something like this.
May 12, 200916 yr thx dj, i didn't know how possible it was. hopefully some uo'er will try this! i would love to do a 360 or something like that from my roof, except i dont have the giggigty gig megapixels to bother. i got the new summer B&H photo catalog and i see all the new point and shoots have 10mp as standard now, so i guess anybody with a new camera could try this. thats waaay better than mine. hmm, yet another reason to upgrade...
May 12, 200916 yr ^You are so lucky you live near B&H. Now that I live 3.5 hours away from NYC I can only really go on the weekend and B&H is closed on the weekends haha.

My cousin dropped his camera at the ES Bldg. The folks at the ESB suggested he go there. This was just two weekends ago.

May 12, 200916 yr This is great, someone should definitely do this for some Ohio cities. I couldn't do it to that quality, so I'll leave this project for someone else.
May 12, 200916 yr I'd be more than happy to, but I need access to the top of a building. I have a 360-pano tripod-ball head and a full-frame dSLR, so just let me in some place to do that :)

May 14, 200916 yr ^ LOL. Awesome site. I think you could just take photos all in a row zoomed in. Stitch each photo in each panoramic together, and take those completed panoramics and stitch them vertically.
May 14, 200916 yr ^Yeah It doesn't seem too hard to do. I don't even think you would need a Nikon D3 or a Canon 1Ds. Someone could probably do it with even an XTi or a D60 with a good lens. It just takes time, patience, and I guess a good stitching program.
May 14, 200916 yr I think the stitching program in photoshop cs4 is pretty good. I've fire through some pretty sloppy images and it was able to join them without any issues. It even leveled the color out a bit because I had shot each on auto. A website with a bunch of these would sure generate some traffic, but you would need to implement an interface that's easy to move around in. I've tried doing this type of thing in flash, but my controls made moving around kind of choppy, and the images wouldn't always resolve correctly.
