I could have taken a single image with a very wide lens &#8212; such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=22288\">this image taken a few years ago<\/a> that has since paid for the flight many times over &#8212; and achieved a reasonable result, but as far as high resolution goes this approach has its limits.  The wider the lens, the more distortion is present in the image (think &#8220;fisheye view&#8221;). Correcting such distortion reduces the sharpness of the details especially around the edges of the image.  Also, a single photograph will be limited in resolution by what the camera can record &#8212; these days, 36 megapixels is typical.  What I really wanted was an enormous, highly detailed, and rectilinear (straight lines, no fisheye distortion) image suitable for large reproduction in a space that would warrant it, such as an office lobby, museum, or the Oval Office.  Equipped with the most expensive and high-tech ball head in the world, my daughter and I got up in the air and set about shooting the images. I later stitched them together on the computer using several stages and software programs.  The result is this panoramic photo of the San Diego Coronado Bay Bridge, suitable for printing 50&#8243; by 100&#8243; wide with no interpolation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=30789\" title=\"Panoramic Aerial Photo of San Diego Coronado Bay Bridge\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/stock-photo\/panoramic-aerial-photo-san-diego-coronado-bay-bridge-picture-30789-24103.jpg\" alt=\"Panoramic Aerial Photo of San Diego Coronado Bay Bridge\" title=\"Panoramic Aerial Photo of San Diego Coronado Bay Bridge\" class=\"aligncenter\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Panoramic Aerial Photo of San Diego Coronado Bay Bridge<br \/>\nImage ID: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=30789\">30789<\/a><br \/>\nLocation: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?city=san_diego&amp;state=california&amp;country=usa\">San Diego<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?state=california&amp;country=usa\">California<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?country=usa\">USA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you like this, please see my other <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/san_diego_aerial_photos.html\">San Diego aerial photos<\/a>, or my collection of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?x=aerial_panorama__technique__subject\">aerial panoramic photos<\/a>.
