There is a new world record on the largest panorama picture. Rio de Janeiro is the new known record holder with a panorama of 150 gigapixels. 12238 images were captured with a total capture time of 4h 45min (nearly 1.4 seconds per shot).
This photo is the largest 360° panorama in the world as of November 2010. It’s made from 7886 individual images and was shot from the top of the Centre Point building in central London, in the summer of 2010. The computer used to build this panorama is a Fujitsu Celcius workstation, one with 6 dual-core processors, 192GB ram and a graphics card with 4GB memory. At 360cities.net you can see more panorama pictures taken in other cities.
Last year I posted a link to a website which shows a 26 gigapixels photo of the German city of Dresden. This time I want to share with you ‘Paris in 26 gigapixels‘.
Armed with his Canon 5D mark III camera, photographer Arnaud Frich merged 2346 photos together to create a panorama of 354159 bij 75570 pixels. Just amazing. According to the makers this is the biggest panorama in the world.
The panorama was made using two Canon EOS 5D Mark II cameras in combination with 300mm f/4 lenses and 2x teleconverters. Below, the “Paris 26 Gigapixels teaser”.
