The BT Tower 320 Gigapixel London Panoramic Image

Post by KeyMonCha »

Awesome Pic of London taken during the Olympics from Telecom Tower... Quality is excellent!

As an additional bit of fun, there are 3 guys in giant yellow bird costumes hidden all over the city... The "Bird" is an old british telecom mascot:

I just regard it as the worlds most epic edition of Where's Wally(waldo)... If you're a British National you can also win some BT stuff(bit crap,imo) by clicking on the yellow sods, of which i have found 2!!! ...I have given up on the 3rd!

Amazing that they were able to stick those images taken from a Canon 7D camera and standard production 400mm lens with some extenders and telephoto converters and a lot of computer power. I was surprised that they were able to do that without some really exotic lenses or cameras.
