Shot for the BBC, a 1.15 Giga Pixel Panorama of the Royal Wedding (GigaPan)

The BBC commissioned Spherical Images to photograph this highly challenging, huge, panorama of the royal wedding.

Some details of the equipment and the shoot on Twotter

And they are concerned about terrorists/photographers taking photos with SLR's

The software is "Terrorist Super Stitch 200" Ha! Ha!

I can't believe any flashgun would have a GN in metres of 120
Even GN-58 on the other one sounds optimistic.

A few years ago the most powerful you could buy was a Metz with a shoulder pack battery advertised as GN 60.

Most of these GN's are for the telephoto setting as well.

Edit: 120 is probably the GN in feet so that would be
GN-40 in metres.... sounds better.

The price is OK.... It saves spending £30 on an M42 adapter as well

Don't forget the Pentax AF500FTZ £40 - £50 SH on ebay.

There are a few good posts on the US forum about a month ago where someones actually plotted a graph of the f stop variation from the meter reading with each lens. Not too hard to do anyway. Sorry I don't know what thread it was

Very well captured.... it's hard enough when they are sitting still
I've never actually seen Mallards fighting like that I've seen them having small pulls at each others feathers especially when it involves a female. Maybe it varies with the exact Mallard variety.
