765 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Las Vegas, Nevada
September 15, 2018
Back in 2011, just after the Cosmopolitan opened for business, I captured what I thought was a fantastic image similar to this one, using a Nikon D7000 and executing a crude panoramic shot with a standard tripod. The result was a “huge” (not really) 3-image composition that was sort of impressive for a while.
Fast-forward to 2016 and I now had a Nikon D810 and panoramic photo gear. This balcony, with its bird’s-eye view of the fountain at Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Paris, and most every other iconic structure on the strip, became my highest priority for a return shoot.
The price for the balcony room had tripled in the five years since the first shot, but it was well worth it. The unmatched detail and vantage point of the shot makes this a top-five photo in my portfolio for sure. Multiple images were taken and blended such that the most interesting fountain conditions and billboard displays could be included in this ultra-high-resolution VAST photo of the Las Vegas Strip.
This 765-megapixel VAST photo is one of the highest definition photographs ever created. It has a resolution equivalent to 369 HDTVs.
