As George jokingly says, it deserves a two-day seminar to discuss all the issues they had to overcome. ![]() “We used our own and very expensive equipment: A Swiss-made panoramic robot and a 45-megapixel Canon R5 with a big EF 4/600 L II IS telephoto lens, which at times was extended to 1,200 mm, which is unique.”Īnother huge challenge were file storing and post-processing. “These gigapixel challenges are personal projects and not sponsored by any third party,” George explains. Challenges of creating gigapixel image of Barcelonaįirst of all, George and Michael did this project out of pure love and enthusiasm – meaning that they weren’t paid to do it. While it sounds simple written like this, George and Michael faced many challenges before completing this project. “We made the most out of it.” The three days of shooting and three months of processing and stitching resulted in eight ultra-high-resolution gigapixel panoramas from 4 different locations: 114 gigapixels combined! Advertisements “We spent about seven days in Barcelona, and on three of them, the weather was good enough for gigapixel photography,” George tells DIYP. George tells us that they chose Barcelona because of its charming cityscape and the surrounding hills which open up nice views of the city. The guys first met in Sofia in 2021 to shoot the largest image ever taken in Bulgaria. Then in 2022, they decided to meet again for another gigapixel challenge. Both photographers specialize in high-resolution, or “gigapixel,” photography and have accumulated a lot of experience over the years. George is an architect and panorama photographer from Sofia, Bulgaria, and Michael is a photo engineer and photographer from Coburg, Germany. ![]()
