Apparently all the images were post processed in Lightroom.
Looks like GigaPan is finally releasing their DSLR model (due in April for $900). Attach your DSLR to this sucker and be prepared to make gigapixel-sized images that’ll surely turn your computer into a smoldering pile of ashes.
The GigaPan Epic Pro can handle most DSLRs and lens combos of up to 10 pounds. It’ll also take multiple images when in one position, so now gigapixel HDR images are possible.
I’m curious just how fast this will take a group of images. I can see this being used for some interesting landscape photography (though I can see that moving water and clouds and the like could be a problem). Still, it’s not that expensive and might be worth renting to give it a try. I’d love to take a gigapixel image out of my window.
I see a glimmer of hope for publishers based on what I’m seeing here in Penguin’s idea of what an iPad-like device can do for their content. What I find particularly interesting is the travel book on the iPad. Tying in the GPS location services with creating a custom “tour of the city” is something I can get very interested in. I think that Penguin is starting to take baby steps in creating a new way to consuming books on the iPad.
