The link is ok but the picture has been removed due to “too much traffic”. Does anybody know where can it be found now? Any other links?

I didn’t expected to see much, but just a big vigorexic structure when I visited Dubai 2 weeks ago. In contrast, I saw a beautiful and detailed building, with sense of scale with the surroundings and a beautiful, perspected and watered access, full of life. Congratulations.

Hi Chas -

That’s actually a different one that I did earlier in the year.

Outline process is as follows:

1. 381 separate 21MP images taken with a Canon 5D Mk II and the 100-400mm lens (at 400mm).
2. PTGui Pro software used to stitch the photos together. It does a VERY good job (I’ve tried pretty much every panorama software out there, and nothing comes close to it), but does need a little manual assistance (it can’t stitch the sky for example).
3. Wait a week for the stitching process to finish its job of creating a .psb (Photoshop large format) file. .psb is the only file format that can handle images this large (in pixel and file size). Computer used is an i7-920 with 12GB of RAM and 3 Velociraptor hard drives.
4. Open up the .psb file (all 12.7GB of it) in Photoshop CS4. Rotate image by 1.05 degrees because I forgot to set a vertical reference in PT Gui Pro.
5. Export image as a Microsoft HDView project.
6. Open HDView project in browser, and record moving around it with Camtasia.

Regards,

Gerald.

Wow, an amazing way to view a building.

There’s also a game about ‘the destroyed opulence of Dubai’: http://cool71.com/2009/12/spec-ops-the-line-debut/

This is absolutely fascinating. It doesn’t even look real, and it is hard to comprehend that it actually is. What an amazing achievement.
