57 Billion Pixel Image of Dubai

I can finally share one of my latest GigaPixel images that I shot for Bentley Motors commissioned by Keko London. At 57.7 billion pixels, it is one of the world’s most detailed landscape images.

At the heart of the photograph sits a Bentley Flying Spur W12 S in the luxury marina of Dubai – the world’s fastest-growing city. Zoom out and the NASA-derived technology allows you to explore and experience the city panorama in intricate detail, while beyond it the curvature of the earth is visible.

Following the success of the previous Golden Gate GigaPixel, Bentley decided to take a second gigapixel shot and this time in the city of Dubai. We suspended a camera 833 feet above one of Dubai’s iconic skyscrapers. The resulting panorama is created using the same technology used to create panoramas of the Martian landscape from the images sent by the mars Rover.

Zoom in and the image will take you in sharp focus, through the landscape, right up to the instantly recognisable bonnet badge of the Flying Spur. The car itself is like a large speck when you have fully zoomed out of the photograph. Once you have zoomed in fully, you can then explore the heart of Dubai at your leisure.
