Ultra-high-resolution gigapixel panoramic images are those that are near or exceed one billion pixels - 1000 times the information contained in a one-megapixel image. Many of my images are 1 to 4 gigapixels (1,000 to 4,000 megapixels) in size and are some of the highest-quality artistic photographs ever made. They are meticulously created and have resolutions that are hundreds of times higher than typical photos, revealing incredible worlds of detail.

To create such huge images, thousands of photos are taken of the same scene using a telephoto lens. Each photo captures only a very small area of view, but in extreme detail. In post-production, all of those photos are carefully and painstakingly assembled into the final gigapixel image. The capturing of all the necessary images in the field can literally take hours to complete, and changing weather conditions can sabotage a shoot, resulting in thousands of images on memory cards but with nothing that is worth assembling. Equally, post-production assembly work is a laborious task that can take tens of hours to complete.

As an example, a 1,000-megapixel (1 gigapixel) image (50,000 x 20,000 pixels in dimension) is large enough to be printed 7 meters (23 feet) wide at high quality. Images of such size open up many commercial applications, allowing designers to envision huge areas being covered by a single image where details can still be seen at very close viewing distances. Such high resolutions are also of benefit even with creating more “normal” sized wall-mountable prints, as the fine detail contributes to exceptional quality.

Images are available for Licensing and as Prints. A large computer monitor is recommended for viewing.
