Southern California Railway Museum
Sunday April 02, 2023 by Tony Gillilan
I was shooting at the Southern California Railway Museum and I caught a glimpse of an old car - 1953 Kaiser Manhattan - near one of the buildings on the property. I immediately stopped what I was taking a photo of and quickly assembled my nodal pano head. I calculated and composed a shot using an iPhone app to determine where my on-scene borders were and began shooting. This is 21 shots. 3 rows of 7 verticals, taken with an 85mm lens. I normally overshoot the on-scene borders to give me room to crop later. The resulting file was about 19k pixels wide after assembling the 21 shots. I cropped it down slightly to what a 6x9 digital sensor would be if it were the same sensor as what was in my camera and had the same dimensions as 6x9 film, thus creating my own medium format 6x9 sensor. The total pixel width on this shot is over 15k pixels wide, about 160 megapixels. For reference, the camera I used had a full frame 30 megapixel sensor that was 6720x4480 pixels natively.
Engine Company 12

This is the fire station in Old Town Temecula, Engine Company 12. This is a one row 8 vertical frame stitched panorama shot with a 50mm lens on a nodal pano tripod head. The final file is about 19k pixels wide, and a total of 125 megapixels. This angle of view is equivalent to an 18mm lens on a 35mm camera, or a 90mm lens on a 6x17 camera.
