First pano with the 45 megapixel EOS R5. My most detailed pano ever, and that's saying a lot. This is quite literally why I bought the R5; my 5D4 is only 30.4 megapixels.
Flicker isn't going to let you see this shot at full resolution, you need to visit my pano viewer for that. Take a look!
I realize that this is a scene I've shot repeatedly, so here's a few things I'd like to point out:
1. First time I've caught the moon over the Monongahela river. The reflections through the bridge are pretty neat. (At least I think so.)
2. This was the clearest night I've ever photographed the city. There was zero haze in the air. The photo is razor sharp.
3. Some detail on the moon is visible if you zoom all the way in.
4. PNC Park lights are on for a game.
Old but gold, taken on July 10th, 2005...
Panta rhei, everything flows... or rather melts, quite literally, because the second record-breaking heatwave of this summer has Europe firmly under control. But also in the original sense of the aphorism coined by Greek philosopher Simplikios (attributed to Heraklit), because this capture is very old, but still beautiful (I think), taken during a boat trip through Berlin way back in 2005 with my first digital (compact) camera, a Canon Digital IXUS, after a long break from photography. I've aligned the image in LR with the "guided upright" function, and spruced it up in Luminar 3 and ON1 Photo RAW for a punchier look.
I've always wanted to upload this capture one day, and when I stumbled upon it today in my archives, I thought it's both appropriate to illustrate the heatwave (and climatic change) and the fact that "Everything flows, nothing remains", because the Berliner Fernsehturm (Berlin TV Tower) which you see as a "melting" reflection in those windows is one of Berlin's most iconic landmarks, while the building the TV Tower was reflected in is long gone. What you see here were the windows of the "Palast der Republik" ("Palace of the Republic"), the seat of the former GDR's parliament, the "Volkskammer". The Palast der Republik, which was opened in 1976, was built on the site of the former Berlin City Palace, which had been torn down by the GDR government in 1950. Following the German Reunification in 1990, the Palast der Republik became vacant, and in 2003 the German Bundestag "voted for its demolition and the reconstruction of the Berlin Palace in its place" (Wikipedia). The Palast der Republik was knocked down between 2006 and 2008. In 2013, reconstruction work of the (New) Berlin Palace began, and the "old / new" Berlin Palace will be opened in 2020.
As I wrote above, this photo was taken in 2005 with my very first digital camera, a Canon Digital IXUS 500 sporting a whopping 5 megapixels :-). It was then that my interest in photography (very) slowly (re-)awoke from a deep slumber, but it wasn't until 2008 before I got my first proper DSLR, an Olympus E-520 (10 MP), and I was still mostly snapping away with it occasionally. In 2013 I joined Flickr, but it would still take another two years before things really started to get going. Today, photography is an important part of my life, a hobby that brings me joy and sparks my eagerness to learn and experiment every day. Which I owe to you and your wonderful inspiration, dear Flickr friends :-)
Alles fließt...
...und momentan zerfließt auch einiges unter der erneuten Hitzewelle. Heute stieß ich zufällig auf dieses sehr alte Foto, das ich 2005 während einer Bootstour auf der Spree mit meiner ersten digitalen Kamera, einer kleinen Canon Digital IXUS mit unglaublichen 5 Megapixeln, aufgenommen hatte. Ich wollte es immer mal hochladen.
Heute erschien mir das Foto nicht nur als geeignetes Symbol für Hitze und Klimawandel, weil der Fernsehturm wie Honig zu zerfließen scheint, sondern auch als gute Illustration des von Heraklit geprägten und von Simplikios in der uns heute bekannten Form weiter ausgeprägten Sinnbilds "Alles fließt, nichts bleibt, wie es war". Denn der Fernsehturm spiegelt sich hier in den Fenstern des Palasts der Republik, des ehemaligen Sitzes der DDR-Volkskammer. Nach 1990 war der auf dem Gelände des 1950 von der DDR-Führung abgerissenen Stadtschlosses erbaute und 1976 eröffnete Bau (Spitzname: Erichs Lampenladen) viele Jahre verwaist, bis der Bundestag 2003 beschloss, den Palast endgültig abzureißen und an seiner Stelle das alte Stadtschloss wieder aufzubauen, das nun 2020 eröffnen wird. Schließt sich hier ein Kreis? Wir werden sehen...
Technisches: Ich habe das Foto mit der "Upright-mit-Hilfslinien"-Funktion in LR gerade ausgerichtet und dann beschnitten und in Luminar 3 und ON1 Photo RAW aufgepeppt. Die 5 Megapixel sieht man ihm deutlich an, aber ich mag es trotzdem :-)

This is a 24 megapixel image created with a 16 megapixel camera by stitching just 4 images together on the Editor. More megapixels is always better when you need to bring more details on an image. Thanks for the merge feature on most Photo editors, that allow you to create panoramas or a more megapixel image from old digital cameras, a saving feature for a poor photographer like me.

This is a 344 megapixel 'horizon to horizon' panorama of the Milky Way, shot at 50mm above the Pinnacles Desert in Western Australia. It's one of my first attempts at a pano using my new 50mm prime lens. I'm not sure what to think about the airglow, I'd rather it not be there but unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it.....but hey, maybe it adds something? :)
The 50mm lens is able to capture a bit more detail than the 35mm lens I usually use, nebulae are more prominent and of course there's that pesky airglow. Next time I plan to use my star tracker for even more detail and perhaps an H Alpha filter but that will probably have to wait til next season :-)
The hype around needing more megapixels in a camera stems from the belief that higher megapixel counts lead to better image quality.
More megapixels mean more detail can be captured, allowing for larger prints and the ability to crop images without losing sharpness.
However, beyond a certain point, the benefits become less noticeable, especially for everyday photography. Other factors like sensor size, lens quality, and image processing also play a significant role in overall image quality.
The hype is partly(mostly) driven by marketing, but for most users, more megapixels don't always translate to better photos.
Subject, composition and presentation also play a major part in creating a "good" image.
(I just happened to be using a Sony camera today - I am not singling Sony out, all camera marketing departments are guilty of this hype).

Way back in July 2019, there was a partial lunar eclipse visible nicely from my backyard. I asked my good buddy Desmond if I could borrow his massive FujiFilm GFX-100 100MP camera to see how it worked on the 12“ RC telescope (2304mm focal length) for the event. He responded by stopping by with the camera, an EF lens adapter, and some beers. Because that's what friends do.
Anyway, the FujiFilm GFX-100 is way too much camera for the average person, BUT DAAAAYUM. This is an HDR composite of two images (100 megapixels each!) from the night. The darkest part of the shadow showed no detail when properly exposed for the illuminated side, but luckily I was shooting all night long so I could smash together a couple exposures into this.
I love the different shadow intensity and color shift that shows up because of the Earth's atmosphere and light bending and all the physics.
Low light, low megapixels -
For most situations you need far less than camera manufacturers lead you to believe.

There are lots of beautiful places in the Columbia River Gorge — far too many to photograph in one weekend. Despite our short time in the area, we decided to drive 6 hours round-trip to see a field of trees. Not just any field of trees, but a man-made tree farm that’s going to be replaced and turned into a cow farm! The trees, whilst still here, are pretty neat to see!
We arrived and found we were 2 weeks too early for the fall colors. The leaves still had a little bit of green tinge to them. We had hoped that some leaves would be on the ground, that they’d be beautifully orange, and perfect fall color. Oh well!
I loved the way they were all lined up in a perfect line. Depending on how you stood you could make them appear more or less lined up, with a giant hole or arch-way in the center, which you can just manage to see here. This is a 95 megapixel beast of an image, created by taking a number of photos at 155mm and stitching them together.

Another shot from my Merganser excursion.
I suppose I must break it to you all now, at this point I have been relying on my old photos for some time now. After my Texas trip, my lens began acting up, and it is now in the shop for the next month or so. I will be able to hold out with a few more shots from the DSLR, but, at a certain point, the quality of my photos may decrease if I wish to remain active on Flickr.
I may decide to post the photos from my 2013 Costa Rica trip, during which all of my shots were taken on a pocket camera with less megapixels than todays phones have. Enjoy the future,
Jonah

Same view different day with a Canon Powershot A620 7.1 megapixel camera shot at f8 which is the smallest aperture that the camera has.
I may not have time to answer or acknowledge your visit here or any comments you leave right away but, rest assured, I will try to get back as quick as I can. I will thank you now in advance.
This is a detailed, 121 megapixel panorama of the San Francisco holiday skyline, shot on December 28 2016. I've been working on making as sharp and as detailed as possible; you can make out exit sign lights above doors at the SFMOMA 2.4km (1.5 miles) and 555 California 3km (1.9 miles) away and individual lights on the Bay Bridge 5.5km (3.4 miles) away. Thanks very much to Florian Kainz for all of his advice to get this as good as it could be :]

The hardware used was nothing particularly special - a Canon 7D with the cheap, standard canon 70-300mm zoom lens at 260mm. I shot individual pictures at f/11, ISO 400 with a 1 second exposure (which underexposed most things about a stop). The panorama itself is shot from 46 individual images; and each one of these images consisted of locking off the camera and taking 4 photographs. In photoshop, these are exactly aligned and median filtered to reduce noise, remove motion artifacts from moving lights and recover a little dynamic range. I'd periodically switch the camera into live view to check that the focus of the lens was sharp. The process of shooting the images - the setup, calibration, checking focus and of course actual exposures - took a little under an hour.
After stitching, the image is around 50,000 pixels across. As expected, I wasn't able to completely eliminate all the things that could contribute to softness - nailing the focus, intrinsic shaking of the tripod & camera due to things like wind, and distortion due to heat haze and atmosphere. In the original panorama, there are large parts of the image that can be downsampled, resized back up and placed back in without any significant loss in quality. This 'empty resolution' means that I could wholesale resample the image to half it's size; this also had the effect of improving the signal to noise ratio a little, reducing the noise in the final image.
For the interactive panorama on Facebook (www.facebook.com/bjoshi/posts/10154212269427423), I used a modified version of Eric Cheng's fantastic PSD templates (www.facebook.com/notes/eric-cheng/editing-360-photos-inje...) to create a 6000 pixel wide, 300-degree-wide cylindrical panorama version of the image. It requires a little manual messing around with the XMP metadata to get it exactly where I wanted it (my image is not very tall); ping me in the comments below if you want more details or help figuring it out.
For those of you that have grabbed the original image from Flickr with the intent of printing or using commercially - please don't, and buy the image or hire me instead. I shoot high quality imagery at very reasonable rates. I'm easy to find, drop me a line.
Just in case this alone doesn't deter you, in the online copies of the photograph I've hidden (in plain sight) in a range of highly offensive imagery that would be extremely embarrassing and difficult to explain to a client. Have fun trying to find it all because I guarantee you can't :]
Willie, David, and I spent a few days exploring Factory Butte in Southern Utah. It’s a neat area because it has the giant Factory Butte, beautiful badlands, stunning mesas and plateaus, and crazy desert landscape. There’s a lot to photograph in this area and I can see why we randomly ran into a few of our photographer friends.
On our last morning here we woke up early and traveled up a dirt road in search of a view that would look on the wall of Factory Butte. We found a set of rocks that we could climb onto that would give us a little bit of an elevated view onto the Butte.
Using the big “bazooka” (Sigma 150-600mm lens) I decided to shoot a large panoramic photo of Factory Butte. I couldn’t quite decide which section I loved best, so I just photographed it all, stitched it in Autopano Giga, and let all the pixels do their thing. Here is a 100 megapixel crop that I loved the best, with all the lines coming down, grabbing your eye

The sun was going down, I had to hurry. I was already on my bike during the sunset looking for a location to shoot. There was no plan to go out this evening, but the sunset had such a nice color I made a last moment decision to go out. Have not regretted it for a moment, because although this is not the best photo I ever took the beauty this scene is engraved in my memory for ever.
This photo contains 9 bracket shots, making a total of 27 shots. With a size of 10775 x 4131, almost 45 megapixel picture.
This is my last post in the year 2017. I wish you all a Happy New Year!
This is my first post of a picture taken with my new Nikon D850. Fortunately, we got some sunny hours during the last days of the year.
Here I combined several images to a panorama with a resolution of 13600 x 7650 pixels (about 100 Megapixels), which cannot be achieved in a single shot - not even with a D850. You can enjoy all the details by downloading the original image.
The picture shows the Grimming, with 2,351 m one of the most impressive mountains in the Austrian province of Styria.
