Fully Spherical Indoor Panorama in Gigapixel Resolution
This might be the most amazing photographic project ever.
Check it out.
A description from the artist:
"This image have been the most complicate thing I erver did with my camera. And as far as I know, there is no other one who ever made a fully spherical indoor panorama in Gigapixel resolution.
The problem with this is the lack of depth of field. To avoid this, I used focus blending. Each "critical" image, I made two to three times with different focusing points, and combined them with CombineZM before the stitch.
The lightconditions alsow presented a big challange: 2 sec. for the floo, between 1 and 1/4 sec. for the altar region, between 1/2 and 1/60 sec. for the window regions, and between 1/2 and 2 sec. for the wall and the ceiling.
Because I didn´t whant the typical HDR effect, I decided to blend the single images manually in PS. The good thing with this was, that it wasn´t necessary to shoot the completely church 6 times with different exposure vallues, which would have been necessary for a good HDR pano.
And because of the long exposure vallues this would have been impossible due to time factor.
The bad thing was, arranging all the single images so, that you don´t see anything of all this different exposures really has been a huge work. ( And it really needs a lot of concentration to make all critical images with the related exposurevallues to achiev good light transitions.
I made this about 1 1/2 years ago. The problem was, that with QTVR it´s not possible to show this image in full resolution (more than 1,3 Gigapixel).
Now, with flash it is possible to watch this in full resolution. Well don´t be upset! You will not have to wait hours infront of your monitor. It´s like a combination of Quicktime and zoomify.
Pleas enjoy it in "full screen" mode. ( Menue buttons)"
