Gigapixel repro

Hallo, I just uploaded a new Gigapixel image of St. Peterschurch.
I made a very similar picture before but nevertheless they are very different. If you are interested in some technical details you are invited to read the Making Of

Here is the thumb for those having less time

wow.

I read the 'making of' but I'm a little confused. This would be done with lots of exposures sown together?

You mentioned it had to be taken at f/14 but that there are still parts out of focus. Are you unable to refocus between shots to ensure that each shot is in focus? That said, it all looked in focus to me anyway.

Gotta love being able to zoom in on the cracks near the ring surrounding the bird in the middle

Fore each image I took one image with the focusing point at the bottom third and one image with the focusing point at the top third and then I combined the two images.
With 300mm the depth of field is simply not enough to get the comletey image in focus no matter where you set the focusing point.

How long did it take you to complete the photos? Hour many hour shoot?

4 hours for taking all pictures (~500)
2 1/2 weeks for the complete picture
