Re: how large can I print? (interpolation?)

2009-03-12 by iweiner3637

Shoot an array of frames(XbyY) with ~20% overlap in both X&Y, use Hugin,PTgui or any good stitching prgm to generate your final image--PP as needed and print as wide and long  your largest printer can.  Since your frame array is not shot all at once, motion in the scene should be minimal.  Great for landscape prints.

This technique allows your moderate 24-70 to function as an unlimited ultra wide angle yielding hi res prints.
