Three photographers using about $100,000 of gear spent 5 days up there. Ultimately we used 1 set of images which was shot over 90 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Stitching was done on two workstations with 192GB and 256GB of RAM, using Kolor Autopano Giga stitching software.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the software choked on the gigantic dataset, and the stitching work ended up taking about 3 months longer than planned. This took a serious toll on my mental health. I am extremely happy to be finally putting this image out to the public and letting it see the light of day.<\/p>\n<p>Of course there are errors in the image. In the end we had to deliver it to the client with a deadline which had already slipped by months.  At any rate, there are FAR fewer errors in the image that I expected.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoy it.
