If you think Google's seven-gigapixel renderings of world famous art museums are impressive, get a load of this: a guy named Jeffrey Martin just produced a record breaking panoramic photo of a reading room in Prague's Strahov monastery library, and it's got the internet giant's Art Project beat by more than 30,000 megapixels. Not that Google's pictures are anything to scoff at, but the 40-gigapixel, 360 degree, 283GB image is something of a digital masterwork. According to Wired, the photograph, taken in February on a GigaPanBot-mounted Canon 550D, is comprised of 2,947 unique images that took a computer program more than four days to stitch together. If you're a fan of 18th century European literature, Franz Anton Maulbertsch's trompe l'oeil paintings, or just ridiculously detailed digital photography, you can peep the image in its entirety at the source link.

more random uploads here on fb lol

 

My neighbor has a mini pinch, that dog is crazy!! I need to start shooting more with my 105 2.0 or get rid of it, which is always hard to do.


liked your FB

 

His dog didn't stop running around and plus it really walks you instead of you walking it...

 

hanging out in Wheaton for a few days and trying to head in to Chicago, any must see places to shoot?

 

can't think of anything off the top of my head in Wheaton area...

 

Picked up one of these today (CL, used but like new cond.), I needed something that would carry more than the Lowepro fastpack 250... and something that's weather proof... AND something that would hold a tripod


http://products.lowepro.com/product/...II,1992,14.htm

Lowepro Photo Trekker AW II

 

looks good I want one! where does it hold a tripod? is it that latch thing on the front there?

 

yes, OR either side if you want, like this:

 

oh oops, guess I coulda clicked the link. that bag looks sweet!

i have 2 bags right now, both of which I dont really like. I mean one is nice for like extended vacations but the other one bugs me, not sure why i bought it

 

but I gotta admit tho... putting everything in there that I'd like to have when I'm out and about (including the tripod), this IS a heavy ass bag (even for me), but oh well... I can deal with it.

I also can't tell you how many times I've been walking around Downtown Vancouver or Stanley Park... and it starts raining, and I'm like paranoid about getting my stuff wet (even tho my camera body is weather sealed, but the lenses aren't). This backpack has that cover if I need it.

 

My cab driver complained about how heavy my bag was last weekend. Admittedly, I had trouble getting it into the overhead compartments on my flights.

It was a Pro Trekker 300 (6.8 lbs) holding 2 7D's, a 70-200 2.8, 24-105, 50L, tokina 11-16, 60mm macro, 580EXII + assorted cords, cards, batteries, tele-extender & stuff. Oh, and my MBP. And a book.

The really fun part was shooting (and chasing) twin toddlers with it all (minus the book & laptop, thankfully!) on my back! With all the up & down & scrambling around for a couple of hours, my quads were sore!

 

i was thinking about getting the shapeshifter from thinktank.

250 though =\

 

the rain covers on Lowepro's All Weather stuff are awesome! I've always been glad to have them when it starts to rain.

and damn for $340 new, it's definitely something to snag on CL.

 

and the guy still have the tag... it wasn't attached because he's used the backpack a couple times, but it's practically unused... I paid $150

 

sorry if this is a repost...

Not bad for a sub $300 lens IMO.

Rokinon (Samyang) 8mm fisheye with a crop sensor body

(I didn't take this)

 

^^ yeah I have one and I love it! great value and great expression. I've had 2 Explored shots with it, one pretty much the day after I got it. I know that's not the only way to gauge a good shot but to me it's meaningful. :donerufflingmyfeathers:

here is an album of shots with that lens, if you wanna see

Speaking of ruffling feathers...I finally passed the $1000 print sale goal from a portrait session. She's still planning on ordering 4 books, too, once I get them designed.

This is the woman who flew me to San Antonio 2 weeks ago to shoot her twins while the TX Bluebonnets were blooming. Can every client be like this please??

I know it's fairly small potatoes to some of the wildly successful portrait photogs out there, but I'm very happy!

 

!!!

 

very nice wndr! that was from just 1 client ? must feel good.

 

Thanks guys! Just one client.

Love your shots with that lens, R..makes me want to buy one.

 

congrats, very cool wndrlst!

 

Thank you! It's an awesome feeling when the hard work starts to pay off.

 

Dang... cool!

 

I picked up myself a Olympus e-pl1 on Thursday. So far I like it. A nice balance between a point and shoot and my dslr.

 

This morning I tried out the Microsoft Image Composite Editor application - it's way, WAY better than the Photoshop image merge for creating panoramas. It gets things right the first time and does an awesome job at it.

Never really had a problem with it in Photoshop, but I'll try it.
