How to take gigapixel panoramic photos

　The other day I took a picture of the scenery of Odaiba for demo content. The image above is an image of the original photograph when creating a gigapixel panorama using a total of 33 photos in 3 rows x 11 columns. By taking pictures so that adjacent photos overlap little by little, compositing work becomes easier. When taken with a single-lens reflex camera, one photo has 10 million pixels or more, so if you arrange 33 of these, you can create a photo of a considerable size.

　Here is the completed gigapixel panoramic content ↑. Click to open the content in a new window. The panoramic photo in the example above has a resolution of 25,000 px wide. It's big enough to make the landscape look dynamic. Using a more telephoto lens, it is also possible to create panoramic photos that can be zoomed even more, such as gigapixel panoramic content that clearly shows the shape of a car running on the Rainbow Bridge on the opposite bank. Why don't you use it to create impactful content, such as beautiful natural scenery, night views of big cities, and inside important buildings.
