Gerald Donovan created the first panorama photo from the top of the world’s tallest building. The 2.6 GB, 360-degree panorama was shot at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
It was stitched from 70 photos (80 megapixels each) allowing the viewer to manually rotate and zoom to pretty much every point in the city viewable from the tower.
The image was created to promote the second Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Photography Award (HIPA), the world’s richest photography award.
