Canon and the robot: A high-rez fable

There is a race to obtain the largest possible digital photography and you have seen quite a number of them in our record images theme here. Today, Gerald Donovan, a Dubai-based photographer has associated the best photo robot and a Canon EOS 7D D-SLR camera.

This contraption allowed to automatically shoot nearly a million (!) of pictures of the Dubai skyline. After that, a computer took its time to assemble all these images in a humongous 44,880 ~~mega~~gigapixel panorama!

Even more pixels: Dresden

We have seen many, but today’s world record is a 26-gigapixel panoramic image of Dresden, Germany. I did not write 26-megapixel. It’s 1000 times what you’d expect from a better-than-high-end digital SLR photo camera.

This impressive photo is made of 1,665 individual shots captured with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II photo camera armed with a 400mm tele-lens, and combined together on a powerful computer.

After looking at these images I shot myself, I advise you to visit the excellent web site of Thomas Baekdal about Le Mans.
