Re: NEW WORLD RECORD: VIENNA 50 GIGAPIXEL

Julian,

Did you shoot this column by column, top down for each column - or row by row?

And I don't understand how you were using autofocus and then 'locking' it for each row.

.) top to down column by column.
.) why locking the AF. Each single image is focused seperatly. Otherwise it would be impossible to get everything sharp at 400mm and f8.
This has been a big challange because it was necessary to switch off the AF for the sky and swith on as soon as I reached the city- cplumn by column.....

Yes, in my opignon, the only way of not getting hundreds of ghost pictures is to avoid them when shooting the image by looking into your camera.

So you shot 3600+ images in less than 3 hours manually. That must demand great stamina and concentration. 

Do you use LiveView, or look through the viewfinder, or do you shoot from a tethered laptop with on screen viewfinder display?

Do you adjust focus during the shoot?

I looked through the lens, when ever I was thinking that it is necessary (especially at the autoways areas ), each image with AF (not the sky of course)
So I had to switch on and of the AF in every single row, which really needs a lot of concentration.

Man that is some endurance you've got.  I think my back would start hurting haha.  You did a fantastic job.
