Hello All,
I'm a newbie interested in finding out if it is possible to take full sized redwood tree portraits using large format that are somewhere near the quality of the photo that Michael Nichols achieved for National Geographic. See: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/re...gatefold-image. Mr. Nichols ran an array of DSLRs along a vertical tramway in front of a tall redwood tree and shot over 80 images to stitch together to form his portrait. I would like to try to photograph an entire 300' -380' tall tree without having to get either me or my camera way up in the air.
I imagine that it might be possible to use a long, large format lens with a large image circle to create a number of distant shots to stitch into a vertical panorama shot without perspective problems. Naturally this would require an unobstructed view of the redwood tree from quite a long distance. This would certainly limit, but I don't think it would eliminate, possible subjects.
Can this type of image be made using large format, and if so how?
