GigaPixels Panoramas

ks Darkroom GigaPixels Panoramas is a section dedicated for the ultra high resolution Panoramic images that i shot. The technology involved for creating such very high-resolution images consists of taking a large number of high-resolution digital photographs and then stitching them later on a computer using a special software. I use the GigaPan Epic Pro for my work and Canon equipment.

Pigeon’s Rock Immersive 360° GigaPan | Raouché

Pigeon’s Rock GigaPan | 2.8 Gigapixels, December 27, 2011

Raouché (arabic: الروشة، ar-rawʂe) is a residential and commercial neighborhood in Beirut, Lebanon. It is known for its upscale apartment buildings, numerous restaurants, and cliff-side cafés that line Avenue de Paris, which forms part of the Corniche Beirut. The corniche or the wide, seaside sidewalk of Avenue de Paris is popular on weekends and evenings where strollers and joggers crowd the pavements.
Off the coast of Raouché, there is a natural landmark called the Pigeons’ Rock (also known as the Rock of Raouché). Located at Beirut’s western-most tip, the two huge rock formations, which stand like gigantic sentinels, are a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.
Raouche’s Pigeons’ Rock has recently been featured on the front page of Microsoft’s Bing. Source: wikipedia.org
