AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights a project showcased on docbert.org, featuring a stitched image created from 404 frames captured with a Canon 10D. Participants express admiration for the impressive results, particularly noting the Canon 100-400 lens's image stabilization capabilities that yield excellent photography, including action shots of raptors by a photographer known as Nighthound. The conversation touches on the challenges of adhering to contest rules that prohibit Photoshopping, as well as the potential for future advancements in resolution for programs like Google Earth. There is a humorous mention of tourists appearing multiple times in the stitched image due to the lengthy capture process, leading to some amusing observations about the scene depicted.

Well, that was stitched together out of 404 individual frames from a Canon 10D, so even if you had taken the photos, ZZ's "no Photoshopping" rule could be a bit of a problem. Awesome result, though. The Canon 100-400 lens has image stabilization and people are getting some fantastic results with it. Check this guy's photos (especially the action shots of raptors!) He goes by the name of Nighthound on the ODS site and he is a very talented photographer.

That is very nice, I'm waiting for the day Google Earth type programs get resolution like this, now that would be fun :smile:
 
Since he took over an hour to take the frames, and tourists tend to wander, some of the people in the pictures should appear multiple times. It makes me kind of nauseous to pan the image, though, so I gave up on that project.
 
Ha ha! see the guy taking a whizz in the corner?
