Mutli-camera stitch of Redwood tree

[cmason]

Very cool video snippet of how National Geographic photographed an entire redwood tree using a movable camera rig and photo stitching. (note all the PWs)

[NOTE: Due to Dgrin rules, and out of respect for the photographers themselves, I won't cross post the images, so this post itself is just links, pls follow the links it is worth it.]
