With a Canon 7D and the 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L zoom at 400mm, photographer Gerald Donovan captured the Dubai cityscape in the world’s largest panorama. 4,250 individual shots combined to make this highly detailed 45 gigapixel bohemoth of a photograph a reality. Head over to Gigapan to explore the image in greater detail. It’s incredible, actually. You can zoom into individual buildings, streets, vehicles, and people.
From the talented videographer who brought us to Skywalker Ranch and to a cold winter’s night in Prague comes his latest time-lapsing sensation. Using a Canon 7D, two Canon 5D MkIIs, and one Panasonic GF1, Philip Bloom captures Dubai like you’ve never seen it before.
The Dubai Fountain, designed by WET Design.
It’s “illuminated by 6,600 lights and 50 colored projectors; 900 feet long; shoots water 490 feet into the air; and is synchronized with classical and contemporary Arabic and world music. It’s located right by the Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building. Oh, and it cost $217 million to build.
