Gigapan Epic Does 2,904 Megapixels at 2009 World Series

Bergman 2009 World Series Gigapan

David Bergman took a prototype version of the Gigapan Epic to the World Series Game 1 and used it to create an enormous 2,904-megapixel image from 675 photos.

David explains the process that he used to capture this image with a Nikon D700 and 400mm focal length on his blog.  For instance, the white band in the center of the image is from rain that came and went while capturing all those shots – the process took almost an hour.  You can read about it here.

Additionally, the entire image is on MLB.com, where you can zoom in to see the faces of almost every fan and player at the stadium.  It’s pretty amazing that you can clearly make out Alec Baldwin sitting behind home plate (you know you’re going to check that out now…).

Bergman says he plans on capturing another mega-pano with the Gigapan Epic during the World Series.  Hopefully, he’ll get through it without rain next time.

    Is that a ghost or the Grim Reaper wearing a grey hoodie and sitting two rows behind Alec Baldwin?!

    There’s a lot of odd banding in that photo. It looks like it could have been good but was spoiled by that.

      @Dean Gray – I think that’s the rain that I mentioned.
