UK telecoms provider
British Telecom has just published the biggest ever photo of London. The photo was taken just after London hosted the 2012
Summer Olympic Games by photography firm 360Cities, which specializes in panoramic photos. It's made up of 48,640 individual frames which were collated into a single panorama using a supercomputer. The end product is a 320 gigapixel image.
The pictures were taken using Canon EOS 7D cameras with EF 400mm f/2.8 IS II USM lenses and Extender EF 2x III teleconverters driven by special Rodeon VR Head ST robotic panorama heads from the German-based Clauss. According to British Telecom, if the completed image were printed at normal photographic resolution, it would be almost as tall and as wide as Buckingham Palace.
