Giant Redwood Tree Photo | Friday Find

How do you photograph one the world’s tallest trees? Take one 300ft Redwood tree, three digital SLRs, six PocketWizard transceivers, a gyroscope and add a sprinkling of National Geographic magic; the result is an awesome 84 image composite by Nick Nichols.

  • Interesting thought …

    Have seen this image of the men and cameras several times, but this is the first time I noticed that the cameras were stacked vertically and not side by side on a horizontal plane.
