Re: Help Baldy shoot for a 72x240-inch print
Hi Baldy, Give PTGui Pro a go for stitching huge HDR Pano's, it handles some seriously large image sizes, will export to blended layers, 32bit .hdr's or even has tone mapping within the software. Here's a 360 from a couple of weeks ago (from the top of a ski field in New Zealand) 72 images @ 40mm (bracketed) blended and… -
Re: Help Baldy shoot for a 72x240-inch print
But one thing I found last night is we just can't get the skyscrapers crisp and clean with no caffeine unless the temp of the air is close to the temp of the water (around 56 degrees). There seem to be thermals that make the lights flicker and the vertical lines wave and if the shutter speed is at all long, you're toast.… -
Re: Help Baldy shoot for a 72x240-inch print
So, after two attempts with Baldy, lessons learned: * @ distance (~ 2 miles to subject!) - there are lots of factors at play * biggest factors: Atmosphere and glass * we had clear conditions on both attempts. Two nights ago, I shot with the 300 f/2.8L @ f/8 - RAZOR sharp shots and gorgeous color, contrast, all of it - a… -
Re: Help Baldy shoot for a 72x240-inch print
Fascinating. That could explain a lot. I had the beefier tripod and the shorter exposures, but my shots are not as sharp as Andy's. Most disheartening for me was the amount of high ISO noise I'm seeing on the shots with the 5D MKII at 400 ISO. Andy's are clean at 100 but some of us used the word awful (Andy thinks we're… -

In! :D Ivar, nice shot. This business of making it pixel-peeper-proof at 72x700 kinda sucks. :cry Daniel, really nice angle. Where were you? My 5D MKII arrives Friday morning, so I'm gonna start making more attempts. Here's a question of major import: If I shoot 1 row with a 400mm I get 5632 vertical pixels in 72 inches =… -
Re: Help Baldy shoot for a 72x240-inch print
If there are clouds and fog, do you really need 180 pixels per inch in your original image? You can uprez 78 ppi to ~ 160 with one of the programs like Genuine Fractals can't you? Your 78 ppi figure is original pixels straight from the camera. You can uprezz that in ACR substantially, and choose to output your jpgs into… -
Re: Help Baldy shoot for a 72x240-inch print
Hahaha, Andy will say I have a strong personal bias. It's true. It just so happens I have a lifelong love of long lens photography. I like steep and dramatic mountains, compressed distances, out of focus backgrounds. My favorite landscape was shot by Leping Zha with a 300mm lens (but on a 6x7 camera, making it maybe 2/3rds…
