Trump Tower Megapan
This is a 21 shot panorama (7 shots by 3 shots) of the Trump Tower taken from the Columbus Dr. Bridge. I wanted to take a big pano from here because a single shot requires a big wide angle lens but would still not quite capture the complete scale of the scene. Also a wide angle lens will create lens distortions, with the buildings tilted this way and that. While that is correctable when processing, it will also cut down on the size of the shot.
Even with my Nodal Ninja panohead, taking a 21 shot pano was challenging. Thanks to the shaky Columbus Dr. bridge I had to retake a few shots. Even though I was careful, one of the shots I took was completely blurry. Thankfully the shot was from the middle row, so I was able to mask out the blurry bits and let the overlap from the neighboring shots fill in.
The end result at full resolution is a 14973 x 11230 pixel (~165 MP) image that could be printed at 48" x 36" at over 300 dpi. As The Donald might say, "That's huge!"
