World’s highest resolution panoramic photo is stitched from 70,000 images

A team of five photographers has created what they describe as the world’s highest resolution panoramic photograph by stitching 70,000 digital images together to create a 365 gigapixel photograph. Recorded using a Canon EOS 70D with the EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens on a 2x converter, the picture took 35 hours of shooting over the course of 15 days just to capture. Read more

Gulf Photo Plus is Coming to the US

12 May

I teach very infrequently now, at most just once or twice a year. That said, without fail I attend Gulf Photo Plus in Dubai every March.

It’s a great event, with quality instructors and a fantastic group (family?) of people running it. But Dubai is a long way away, to be sure.

So three years ago, we worked out a sort of “road version” of GPP. It’s a compressed, wall-to-wall weekend that brings a bit of GPP to another city each year. 2013 was in London. 2014 was in Singapore.

And 2015 will be in Seattle, Washington in the US. And I am really happy about this. Yeah, it’s greater Seattle (in Bellevue). The GPP folks wanted a good, but not too big, venue for the weekend.

The Particulars

Date: Sept 19th and 20th
Location: Seattle area
Price: $ 399 (early bird)

The presenters for 2015 are Joe McNally, Zack Arias, Greg Heisler and yours truly. It’s designed to be a firehose weekend, done in that way so people/parents/humans/etc. can efficiently work it to travel/work schedules. If GPP in Dubai is basically a 10-day (minimum) commitment, GPP’s Pop_UP events are something a driving-radius local can do without burning a single vacation day. And someone just about anywhere in the US or Canada can do it with a travel day tacked on at each end.

Having seen the London one, I can tell you this: If I wasn’t speaking, I’d be going. (And ultimately, between you and me, it has always been my goal to make myself redundant for GPP Pop_UPs in various cities around the world and just attend.)

To that end, if you are not in the US/Canada, you can also vote on where the next Pop_UP city will be. For that, and all of the info you need if you are considering going, hit the GPP Pop_UP website.

Tickets are on sale now, and will be absolutely limited by the size of the venue. So if you are juggling air tix, etc. Best to jump on it while the variables are still in your favor.
