Munich at Night

This is a 290° panorama of Munich at night. I made the pictures on top of the Olympia tower (Olympiaturm). http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=6017
The viewing platform is around 195m above ground and you have a great view over the city.
Due to strong winds I had some problems to get sharp images. 80 pictures at ISO 800, F4, focal length at 120mm.
You can compare this image with the panorama I took during some other day. http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=10127

Hi, I like this panorama. At what time did you took the panorama?

Hi fberger, I took this panorama yesterday evening around 7pm. The tower is open until midnight with last ride up at 11:30pm. Take some warm clothes with you if you get there, the wind is very cold this days there.

Hi Eduardo, sorry to hear this, even it is not related to me and my pictures I hope you get the issue sorted out with Gigapan Systems. As you see from my profile, I'm not involved in the gigapan project. I have developed my own device called GigaPanBot. Check out my website http://www.gigapanbot.com/

Try an umbrella next time to block the wind, they work well

Hi Tim, As long the wind is not too strong this could be a good idea. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hi Alberto, for what reason do you need the picture? If I remember correctly, the file size is > 1 Gb

UAU! one GB?! Goddamn! I was planning on printing it to make a wall pannel in my apartment. Not commercial use at all. Do you agree ?

At what size do you plan to print it? It does not make sense to send such a big TIFF file, but maybe I can send you a smaller JPG version

ohh, this sounds like a large print. I wonder why you would like a picture of Munich? But coming back to the file size. For such a large print you need the full resolution of the image. You indicating a 1:4 size ratio for the print, the picture right now has around 1:10 ratio. So I assume you want to cut margins, right? JPG file size is limited to 30000 pixel, so this would be the maximum length of the picture.
