Vertical Panorama of a Giant Redwood
Ok, so generally we are talking about photographing bonsai but this really is at the opposite end of the scale!
Wildlife photographer Michael Nichols wanted to photograph a 1500 year old, 300-foot-tall (91.5 meter) Redwood in a dense forest with no clear lines of sight. So he built a custom camera rig to take close-ups and then stitched them together.
The result is a stunning composite of 83 different shots of this incredible tree.
If you are loking for a good poster there is a huge foldout of the image in the October 09 issue of National Geographic.
Here's a link to the Youtube video of Nichols talking about the process of capturing the amasing image.

Re: Vertical Panorama of a Giant Redwood
Hey why does it have 3 trunks and two start half way up the trunk? The rules don't allow for that

Re: Vertical Panorama of a Giant Redwood
Hummm. I saw 4 men in red jackets and 2 others. Am I the only one here that see them?
Always we hope someone else has the answer.

Re: Vertical Panorama of a Giant Redwood
I can see the four in red, but I'm not so sure that yellow thing at the top is a man - and can't see the other one you're referring to Kvan.
