The network posted 34-gigapixel panorama of Prague

On Habré, more than once or twice the news was published that a photographer or a private company / organization posted a gigapixel panorama of Moscow / London / Mars on the Web. This time another similar panorama was posted on the Web, the Prague panorama , which beats many records in detail and resolution.

So, Jeffrey Martin, photographer, author of the project, took 2,600 individual shots, located on the tower of Petrin. He spent an hour and a half on this tower with a Canon camera and accessories for him. The case involved 1-Dx, optics 28-300, as well as a fisheye 8-15. After combining all these photos turned out panorama resolution of 260000 x 130000 pixels.

To create a panorama, we needed help from Fujitsu Technology Solutions Europe, which offered powerful hardware with two quad-core Xeon processors and 192GB of RAM.

By the way, if you print out the panorama (150 DPI in total), you’ll get a photo almost 40 meters long.
