First Gigapixel Landscape
Monday, July 19, 2010 at 4:03PM 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.
