That must be one hell expensive camera.

Well, It's a 50D, so go figure.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Geoff, you might want to link the big version of the picture... it's fine on my computer, but I know my old one wouldn't of been able o handle it.

Nice, isn't that called an HDR image?

I took one a while back with my friends point and shoot camera

I agree with Omega on this one. It looked a bit over done in my opinion.

Here's my take on it.

OK, fair enough.

I can't read the little plates at the bottom that are attached to the chain. Not impressive.

That was the photo I had posted originally, the point I was trying to make was that when I merged 6, 15MP photos together you can see quite a bit of detail when zoomed up 100%, I'm going to try this more often

My goal was to capture the whole building, but since I had my 100mm lens I could only capture a portion of the building.

Not really, an HDR image is when you take multiple identical photos with different exposures and combine them together.

Looks good

I should mention though that I did ZERO editing on this photo, this was simply taking from the camera in RAW, combined in Photoshop, and then saved as a JPEG.

Ok I'm thick

How does merging 6 photos together give you a better photo, also what does it improve on over 1 15MP photo ?

The purpose was that by using my 100mm lens which is sharper then my 10-20mm lens, I could take 6 shots (since with the 100mm lens I can only capture a portion of the building) and then combine them together in Photoshop. Also by doing that you increase the resolution of the photo, making it something like a 30MP image, allowing the image to overall be sharper and allowing you to zoom in further without as much loss in quality/sharpness.

I'm curious Omega, I had never heard this technique (or maybe I have but I didn't realize it...).

Do you mind posting the six pictures so I can see exactly how you did it? Basically it's like a panorama right?

im amazed how software nowadays lets you combine photos into a single picture. i have no idea how it works lol.
