Hitchcock’s (in)famous Psycho begins with the camera roaming a city skyline before zooming in on an apartment block, and a window, seemingly at random, as if to suggest that the story that we are about to see is just one story out of a million possibilities (a classic example of sonder perhaps?) And now people everywhere can recreate this scene in our own fair capital, thanks to the most detailed panoramic photograph ever taken, consisting of a brain-numbing 48,640 frames snapped from the BT Tower. Londoneers can quite literally see their house from here.  So have a look, zoom voyeuristically into peoples windows and marvel at the secret roof spaces hidden above our heads. Who knows what you might find…

A 320-gigapixel image taken from top of London's British Telecom Tower has set the world record of the largest panoramic photo. It breaks the previous record set by a 281-gigapixel electron micrograph of a zebrafish embryo taken in 2012. The London image was shot by panorama specialists 360 Cities and is made up of 48,640 individual frames.

To get an idea of just how large this photograph is, BT says if it was printed at 'normal resolution' the photo would measure measure 98 x 24 metres. The photo was taken with four Canon EOS 7D cameras and EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM lenses plus Extender EF 2x III teleconverters. The cameras were mounted on Rodeon VR Head ST robotic panorama heads. The team took three days to shoot the individual photos and three months to process the final image.

Imagen espectacular, realizada con más de 85.000 láminas y que hacen que pese 280 Gb. La fotografía se puede ver en la web 360 cities, de la que ya he publicado otra foto antes. Está hecha por el fundador de este sitio, Jeffrey Martin. Una fotografía de tal calidad permite ver hasta el más mínimo detalle sin perder calidad.

360 Cities

Holy crap, I need to not look at this amazing website or I won't ever pull myself away. Like a more detailed Google Earth, you can view a large number of locations via gigantic photo montages. I'll leave it at that and not think about this again. I need to get some work done today.

A spot I just found along the Adriatic, a little east of Venice.
