Beirut Downtown GigaPan | Lebanon

BCD GigaPan
Beirut Central District | 7 Gigapixels

Beirut Downtown GigaPan was shot on December 27, 2010 at around 10:00AM. It was stitched from 985 images taken with the Canon 550D (t2i) and the Canon Telephoto EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens. I also used the Manfrotto Tripod 055CXPRO3 Carbon Fiber + Manfrotto 468MGRC4 Magnesium Hydrostatic Ballhead. As for the pano head, I used the GigaPan Epic 100 robot.

The shoot took one hour and the resulting GigaPan is equivalent of a 7 Gigapixels image.

Field of view: 191.5 degrees wide by 51.8 degrees high

The Making of pictures:

The Beirut Central District (BCD) is the name given to Beirut’s historical and geographical core, the “vibrant financial, commercial, and administrative hub of the country.” It is situated on the city’s northern coast and includes many monuments and places of importance to the citizens of Beirut, including Martyrs’ Square.
Beirut Central District is sometimes called Solidere, after the company of the same name founded by Rafik Hariri that has undertaken reconstruction of the neighborhood after the Lebanese Civil War.
