Central London Panorama

Another recent panorama, now I’ve worked out how to use them in this blog. This is central London, looking East, taken from the 20th floor of the Hilton, Park Lane. This is fourteen 10 megapixel images (two rows of seven with the hand-held camera in portrait mode) with Photoshop doing all the hard work of stitching the images together.

Camera:   E-3     Focal Length:   30 mm
Create Date:   2008:11:16 11:14:23     Shutter:   1/800 s
Location:   51° 30' 20.5" N, 0° 9' 1.1" W     Aperture:   f/1.8
Exposure Program:   Aperture priority     ISO:   100
Flash:   8     Exposure Bias:   0.0


The light looked wonderful two mornings ago so I took a series of twelve 10 megapixel images and used Photoshop to stitch them together in a panorama (23,920 x 3500 pixels). I then exported the image using the Zoomify function in Photoshop to produce the image above. You can use the navigation buttons or the mouse to zoom into and around the image. Fun, eh?
