I Came across this today while surfing the web. What kind of equipment could have been used to make this image? I'm in awe.

It would have been a great "Where's Waldo" search too.

Just about any camera you can mount on the Gigapixle machine.

Ohhhhhhhhh so its a machine independent to the camera. Okay, I understand. I had no idea. Learn something new everyday I guess.

The tool is called thr Gigapan, it takes hundreds of pictures using any camera. If you google it you will find the info about its operation. The pictures are then stitched together in a panorama. If you look closely when you zoom in you can see irregularities were frames are joined.

I've wondered about that too. I'm in a couple from Dodgers and Angels games. But what was used? It may actually be many exposures stitched, but how with no blurs of moving people. Looks like CIA stuff. LOL

In a previous post, there were duplicate people, people without legs, and legs without people.

It looks like the gigapan system (for about a grand) comes with software to do the stitching. I don't think I'll spring a grand for the limited use I'd give that, but nonetheless, its a cool system. I Looked pretty close and I didn't see any really strange artifacts, so someone probably spend a lot of time in post fixing those issues. No headless hockey fans that I could find anyhow.

I was sure I could find a stitching error .... but looked for about 3 minutes and couldn't find one.
But I did find focus irregularities.
People 4 feet away in focus, people 20 feet away out of focus, people 30 feet away in focus etc, quite a bit of that throughout the image.
Lets see who can find the first stitching error?

I saw the focus issues as well. Quite a bit of odd pixelization too. I was CERTAIN I'd find stitching issues in the angled handrails or in the safety screen, but I didn't see anything. Overall quality of the zoomed image wasn't perfect, but darn good in my opinion considering the amount of zooming you can do.
