p.1 #1 · Notre Dame 1974 Koda vs 2008 digital pano | |
Isn’t modern technology wonderful?
In my tender youth, I took this handheld Kodachrome picture in summer with a 35mm and 28mm lens.

34 years later, in my decrepit old age, I took this stitched, perspective corrected picture, in November, combining 3 vertical orientation, tripod mounted 5D pictures with an EF50mm f1.4, for a total of about 40MB of data.

The stitched pictures were combined automatically in PTGui software, and perspective corrected in PS (filter>distort>lens correction> vertical perspective). So this more like handheld 35mm vs medium format digital back. The corrected pano was moderately uprezed to 9000 x 5250 pixels in preparation for a 30” x 17.5” print at 300 dpi.
Shown below are crops from the 35mm and the digital pano. The crop on your screen represents a full image, 8.3 foot by 5.5 foot enlargement!


I think the resolution of a stitched, carbon fiber tripod mounted, digital picture is amazing, for such a light, compact package!
