Photographer Alfred Zhao captured this 272 gigapixel image of the Shanghai skyline using the GigaPan EPIC Pro and a Canon 7D with a 400mm f/5.6 lens and 2x teleconverter attached. He was setup and started shooting at around 8:30am and after 12,000 images were in the bag, it was just before dusk. It took months to complete image and get the final 1.09TB file uploaded.
Just how big is a 272 gigapixel image? 1 gigapixel = 1000 megapixels = 1 billion pixels. That’s 272 BILLION pixels. Printed at standard resolution, this image would cover over 7000 billboards.
But now it’s done and Zhao holds a world record for the largest digital photo. There’s no time to rest though, as Zhao says, “This is not the end of my panorama journey, it is a new start, challenging the limit is an infinite process. New records will appear in the future, it is only a matter of time.”

Ahead of CES last week, PocketWizard finally launched the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 for Nikon DSLRs. I’ve gotten a couple of emails asking about these, so yes, they should start shipping any day now. I got to play around with them a little at a pre-CES event and I can assure you they are working well with Nikon DSLRs.
Keep tabs on the stock updates at B&H (MiniTT1 and FlexTT5).
