Sharing LF images in full resolution/Stitching

[Drew Wiley]

Works even on my office PC. But its still a web whatever, so no substitute for directly viewing a real print, esp a large one. Might be nice for some of my architect or contractor customers, who want to zoom in on views of completed project, and show clients things that way. But they already know about it. I don't see why anyone would be impressed with mere detail when they can't contemplate with respect to the complete image all at once. Give it a try. But other than general theme
or a crude sense of color, I don't see the web as an effective presentation tool for large format imagery at all. Kinda like driving around an expensive sports car
with a flat tire or two.

I moved this thread to Image Sharing and Discussion. If you would like it elsewhere, send me a PM please.

The image is LF by stitching - .

No Large format camera, no Large format film; no chance. If anyone with a big digital file is now a large format photographer, I'm in the wrong place.

Thanks for the tip! I uploaded a couple of test 4x5 scans, and it's pretty cool.

If you have Photoshop you can create the same using File -> Export -> Zoomify.

Hats off. Excellent.

very cool!

How many images is this composited from?

[Ed Richards]

The black and white is 3 sheets of 4x5 film. The color is 6x7 rows x 3 bracketed exposures per location for a total of 126. I composited them to a 32 bit image so I could control the brightness of the stained glass.

Thanks for the zoomify tip. I will give that a try.

Very cool and obviously going to spark debate. Sandy King has a question on another thread about what is LF.

I agree with Drew, that any current digital viewing system is poor.

Where are those super 8K whole wall screens Science Fiction has been promising for decades?

4x5 film stitching is for sure LF, but is the color one 4x5, stitched in a 6x7 pattern? I first misread it as 6X7 film size.

The Mods will decide.

I gotta get back in a church, preferably with a LF pipe organ...

[Ed Richards]

The first one is FF Nikon digital. From my perspective, it is about 3.5x6, it was just harder getting there.:-)

One pipe organ, 4x5, really wide lens.
