Houghton from on top of the Portage Lift Bridge

A rare view of Houghton and Hancock from on top of the Porage Lift Bridge. Visit http://www.uppanorama.com/p/Projects/houghton-from-on-top-of-the-portage-lift-bridge/ for history on the panorama and more images.

This panorama was shot from over 200 16MP images resulting in a 1.01 Gigapixel (1003 megapixel) image. The panorama was shot with a 55mm lens due to the movement of the bridge. I had originally planned on using a 200mm (focal length of 300mm) but the movement of the bridge blurred images too much. The overall dimensions of the image is 71168 px by 14110 px resulting in an image that could be printed 30ft long and high enough quality to be viewed within inches. The panorama was shot September 27, 2012 at about 9:30am.
