Hi Hecate,
I did not read the article, just looked at the pic and scrolled it. There was a similar article in here a couple of weeks ago, and the image in that article was made by using a series of cameras in unison connected to a computer which created the single image. Maybe that was done here?
No idea. The point is that the OP is saying *wow, look at me, I used millions of pixels" whereas the appropriate, and only, question worth asking is "Is the image any good?".
With those 120+mb images you work with, are they for posters of images you have taken? (just curious). What sort of quality are you getting out of those? It still seems that unless you are rich, film remains the best way to get "large" sized prints from a relatively inexpensive camera.
Fine Art images, mainly. But various uses, usually printing at 360ppi with anything from 360-1440 dpi prints. The odd poster at 240ppi (although I have been told that 180 is worth trying – certainly for larger images that makes sense.)
On that point, is there anyone in here using higher end digital cameras, say the 16+ mb cameras (or less even), who can tell me the size of image they can obtain at photo quality? The pixels don’t always seem to tell the story. I have seen images of lesser dimensions that are so high in quality that they print better than a much larger image in lower quality.
The larger the image, the smaller the ppi required because of the viewing distance. I’ve seen images from the 1Ds II printed at A2 and they were very high quality.
