The central third of a 1071 photos, 9 billion pixels, 210\u00b0 panoramic view of Brussels, showing the Josaphat park in Schaerbeek, before sunset at the bottom, at dusk in the middle and during nighttime above (downsized for Flickr).<\/b><\/p>\n

I shot the 1071 photos on a cold December day, starting with the bottom photos at 3:30 pm (before the 4:30 pm sunset), and ending with the top photos at 6:30 pm in dark night. This explains the progressive changes in the light.<\/p>\n

I titled it ”The Empire of Schaerbeek Lights” as a tribute to Ren\u00e9 Magritte’s famous paintings ”L’Empire des Lumi\u00e8res” which depicts a paradoxical image of a nighttime street beneath a daytime sky \u2013 although here it\u2019s just the opposite. Also, Magritte’s last house is visible on this pano \u2013 but just barely.<\/p>\n

This pano was shot in 2011 from the top floor of the Brusilia Residence in Schaerbeek (Brussels), which then was the tallest residential building in Belgium. Its 1071 photos were shot using a Nikon D7000 with a 200mm f2 lens and an x1.4 teleconverter mounted on a GigaPan Epic Pro motorized head, and I stitched them with MS-ICE.<\/p>\n

Since it was my first attempt to stitch so many photos, it took me over 3 weeks of hard work to manage to assemble them a first time.<\/p>\n

It took me another 6 weeks of trial and error to properly process the individual photos and the resulting stitch with Photoshop to get to this result…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
