This is a 360° panoramic image taken on the historic walls of Derry City. It was shot at a corner of the walls known as the “Double Bastion”, outside the old red-brick primary school building that now houses The Verbal Arts Centre. The view encompasses the Bogside and the Creggan residential areas of the city with the hills of County Donegal behind them.
The two canons shown here date from the time of the siege of Derry at the end of the seventeenth century.
The panorama was created from twenty seven separate digital photographs, covering every angle and with bracketed exposures. They were combined into a single high-resolution, panoramic, high dynamic range image.
This image also appears on the Cafe Press website as part of a Photographic calendar of Derry themed panoramic photographs.
Because of the way that it was created this is a very high resolution image (the equivalent of about 80-megapixels). It′s capable of delivering very fine detail even when printed at massive sizes.
It can be printed so large that it tests the limits of Imagekind's framing service. You could print it at:
- 24″x24″ and frame it with a 4″-6″ mat
- 36″x36″ and frame it with no mat, or with one up to 2″
- 36″x36″ on canvas
- 44″x44″ on paper and have it framed elsewhere.
At sizes up to 24″ square it will look good. At the larger sizes it is a real stunner!
