Take a Look at a 26 Gigapixel Picture of Paris

Paris 26 Gigapixels is a stitching of 2346 single photos showing a very high-resolution panoramic view of the French capital (354159x75570px).

On the website http://www.paris-26-gigapixels.com you can visit Paris and see on a single image all famous monuments of the French capital. The Eiffel tower, the Louvre, Beaubourg, Notre Dame de Paris, and many more. Thanks to very deep zooming capabilities, the smallest details of Paris monuments are at anyone’s reach. What’s more, Paris 26 Gigapixels can be printed on a 6500 sq.ft support whilst keeping an excellent quality!

Paris 26 Gigapixels was shot with very unique hardware: 2 Canon 5D Mark II (21.1 MP) each with a 300 mm f4.0 with a tele converter in order to get a 600mm /f8.0 needed to beat the record, mounted on a custom-made panoramic head.


The images were then stitched with the program Autopano Giga.

Neat, but one of the most interesting facets of urban/street photography is people. And all of the people in this have their faces blurred out.

This was also done for the inauguration of President Obama. It's incredible how far away they were to things and be able to zoom in and actually see ppl using iPhones to take pictures. You can also pan around and see where secret service agents and snipers are "hiding" pretty neat!!!
