You would need to wear your storm trooper helmet when you use it :-p Actually, if you made tiny lens/sensor units (like the Rich camera) you could make a small array of them. I wonder if the economics would work out? -----Original Message----- From: Larry Colen <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2011 15:20:56 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List<[email protected]> Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> Subject: Today's crazy idea: RAID
Redundant Array of Inexpensive DSLRs.... On my drive home from San Luis Obispo today, I had the crazy idea that for the price of a medium format camera, you could make a bracket that would securely hold four (or more) relatively inexpensive DSLRs, with identical(*) decent lenses, trigger them simultaneously, and use software to combine the images into one extremely high resolution, or high dynamic range, image. This would have the advantage of all of the shots being taken at the same time, and for landscape photos, the parallax difference would likely be negligible. I'm curious of any one knows of any work along these lines... stitching images from multiple cameras, taken at the same time, rather than a single camera taken over a longer span of time. * By identical I mean the same make and model, individual variation is inevitable. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
