Those kind of maps are a must if you do astro-photography or simply want to see the dusty milky way by your own eyes. Frédéric Tapissier’s maps can be found on his pages, for France and Britain, too.
Unfortunately downloading them takes very long. Therefore I have mirrored some of them: Read more »
Hanover Triptych by W-Mark Kubacki
Last weekend I’ve grabbed my camera and climbed up Hanover’s Neues Rathaus to make a panorama of Hanover. I admit, I got a bit enthusiastic and shot about 390 pictures…
It was a hell of stitching the pictures together, but the result is a brilliant 2.3 gigapixel panorama.That is, about 3×12 metres if you wanted it printed at 400ppi.
The triptych displayed above is derived of it, consists of three 45×30cm pictures exposed on metallic photo paper. Its colors were intentionally shifted into silver to emphasize coruscation.
Update 2: I’ve received the first exposures from labs and their quality was surprisingly good (with one exception on the large format). Therefore the first lot of 3xA4 will be distributed after the holidays.

Jeder Sportfotograph hat sie, seine “Schusssammlung”. Bälle bewegen sich schnell und meist hat man zu spät ausgelöst, diesen mit dem Torschützen aufzunehmen. Also wird aus der Sammlung nachher eine geeignete Lederkugel nachträglich ins Bild geschnitten.
Aber eine Sammlung, die jeder Landschafts oder Outdoor-Schönwetterfotograph (wie ich) hat ist die mit Himmeln. Auch, weil man daraus schöne Poster oder Triptychon für Freunde generieren kann…
