Further Research - Jeffrey Martin

The first panorama I saw by Jeffrey Martin was a huge 80 gigapixel panorama!
You can zoom into images that are over a mile away and still have a good quality image.

This image really amazed me, the sure size and image quality is amazing. This in-particular panorama took three days to shoot and you can literally zoom in for miles, Big Ben pictured here is 1.5 miles away

Another example of his work is the one at a football game, he shot a 360˚ panorama and then once the image was finished and stitched he uploaded it to Facebook and got people to tag themselves in it, in total he got over 17,000 tags.


Both this panorama and the football game would be extremely hard to take and stitch, for the London image it took three days to just take the images, I can imagine the different lighting that would effect each image dramatically, it would be a nightmare to shoot.


For the football game there were a thousand images that needed to be stitched, I would imagine the London was in the tens of thousands.
