First Gigapixel Landscape

Taking the image

Out the door before the sun comes up.  Car loaded up with a bunch of equipment.  I set out into the beautiful hills of Sonoma County.  I come back with my first gigapixel landscape.

New Equipment

After a year of planning and scheming ways to get the equipment I finally got the last piece I needed.  It arrived with summer the first week of July and I could not be geeking out harder.

The Giga Pan Epic Pro is a robotic tripod mount that allows you to take hundreds of photographs from a single vantage point and stitch them together into one, 10+ gigapixel photograph.  Whats 10+ gigapixels?  About 1000x better resolution than a typical camera.

Combine the giga pan with a bunch of gear I've put together over the past year (5D Mark II w/ 24 MP Sensor, AutoPano Giga, Photoshop CS5, heavy weight tripod, Designjet 42" Printer) and I'm a lean, mean, 4 foot by 8 foot, ultra-high resolution landscape printing machine.
