One of my goals for this year, is trying to make a 1 Gigapixel photo. Just for fun :) The biggest one I did until now was 200Mpix. The photo I’m including here today is a little smaller. Only 102Mpix. Still it’s so huge. After I finished it, I probably spend another hour just looking it over in the full resolution, trying to identify everything I can see in it :)
I have again included a zoomable version, so just continue to the full post and check it out :)
It was quite cold yesterday in Bratislava, but not snowing and almost no wind. So I just could not let it be, and went out to take some nice winter panorama shots. On the right you can see my panorama setup. The camera is actually on the other side of the cables, hanging over the bridge :)
And the daily photos is a 6 tile panorama, each tile from 4 shots (I took 6, but in the end I used only 4). The result was a 92Mpix image :) And so I can show you also all the amazing detail, a photo this big had, there is a new feature on this blog. Open the full post by clicking the title or “view full post” under the photo, to view a zoomable version of the photo :). I suggest switching to full-screen while viewing it (first button from right under the photo).
Let’s continue with my manual blending attempts. Until now I have been only able to successfully blend blue hour shots. Don’t really know why :) But I hope it gets better with each blended photo.
I used 7 exposures here, all combined in Photoshop and then finalized in Photoshop and Lightroom.
I was feeling a little more artistic with this one :) With all the snow it looked quite interesting in B&W, so I went with it :) Btw. if you click on the photo, it will be opened with a black background. Looks much better with it.
Another very soft blend. I blended this photo from three images, but I only used a +2 exposure to brighten the middle and the ice a little bit and a -2 exposure to darken the windows. Worked out very well :) Btw. this photo was taken a year ago. Lake Kuchajda is probably frozen right now, but there is no chance for a blue sky :)
