The largest photo ever made of New York City. This image was shot with a Canon 5Dsr with a 135mm lens. It is a 360 degree, gigapixel image of Manhattan, New York City, and the surrounding landscape. Shot from the top of the Empire State Building in October 2015.
The camera captures so much data, that you can read street signs from the top of the building just by digitally zooming!
Any software you recommend? Did this a while back off some great views, but the software side didn’t seem to work well. Microsoft had one, but if k recall, it relied on some technology that wasn’t updated.
I’ve used that software you’re talking about, and it’s very basic.
I use PTGui, personally. I bought version 9 years ago, and haven’t tried any of the new versions. v9 wasn’t necessarily designed to make gigapixel panoramas, and newer versions might be better at it. I use v9 to make 360 panos from a small number of fisheye images, so it’s a very different use case than gigapixel panos. Overall, though, the software is fantastic!

I just couldn’t get it to work right.

Looks like they have specific features for it now: https://ptgui.com/examples/creating_gigapixel_panoramas_with_a_robotic_panohead.html
