Panoramic Photography

In late 2009 I conceived of an idea to produce a series of high-resolution panoramic vistas of the IAS campus behind Fuld Hall. The idea is that each panoramic will show the campus at different times of year.

So far I have completed one, Early Fall. The image here is close to 0.5 Giapxels in size. It was produced from 108 photographs. The stitching between the images is completely invisible. This images would print over 15 feet wide at the industry standard 300dpi.
