Hello....
Alright....I'm sorry if i've started a very noob topic as i'm very new to this topic i'm asking for.
The situation is this~A team of us are trying to get a picture of KL city and print it on a banner measuring 70x20 ft..(Yes~its HUGE)..What i understand is that i would need at least a 20megapixel camera to capture the picture so it would look nice when its printed on a 600dpi format.
I got two help request (I hope there are some kind soul out there)
1)Would anyone have any pictures that you have taken before using a 20megapixel camera on KL city landscape?
2)Advice~Whats the alternative way of STILL producing a nice KL city picture that can be printed on a 600dpi format?We are going to use adobe illustrator to piece all the pictures together..
Do advice..Thanks

A way of getting a multi-megapixel picture is through panorama. Capture bit by bit of a landscape using smaller megapixels but stitch them up to create one big picture.

You could try something like about 10 shots from a 4MP camera and stitch them up. Taking into account the overlay needed as well as cropping you will most probably end up with a 20-25MP panorama. |

The large print company will have their inhouse rip software to re-interpolate your image file into their own format to print. Usually a 10mp file will do, and for such a big print, no one will stand any closer to 5" to see the detail. So, from a distance, all those jagged pixel will not be seen by naked eye, they will all blend in very well. Unless you have a Hawkeye  . |

When you're taking multiple picture, remember to lock the exposure.
To be on the safe side, each picture should overlap with the one taken b4 at least 40%.

So the printing company shall figure it out for you rather than have you looking around for answer  |
