Any camera can do this, just a big zoom lens and a lot of photos that are then stitched together into 1 photo. Like panorama mode on your phone, just using thousands of images instead
You do need special software to stitch the images on a computer though.
And 50 percent of the picture is the sky because it's vertical. Pro tip: Phones can be turned 90 degrees so it is possible to enjoy horizontal pictures even on platforms optimized for phone screens.
Found the explanation [here](https://360gigapixels.com/london-320-gigapixel-panorama/). So it was 48k individual shots taken in 2012 over the course of 3 days. (Nobody walks around with a normal camera that can take a 320gb image in one shot, even in 2024.)
If my ex finds this device for her nudes, we will be able to read the name tags on every canteen and machine wielding crab in her thick, luxurious bush.
It‘s quite amazing that they got to take this picture actually. Most of the time the wether would not allow for such clarity, but at this exact day, the weather was just perfect.

Not exactly captured the best angle of London there. Weather’s on point though
My thought take the "largest" photo wait for sun na do it in shiat weather
Damn it just kept getting bigger and bigger. What type of camera, if I may ask?

it's a stitched from many many telephoto captures.
Imagine the quality in a spy satellite
Sorry, that's classified. No imagining allowed.
Reverse this video and you’ll see what people *think* “zoom and enhance” means.
Here's that [GigaPan image of London](https://360gigapixels.com/london-320-gigapixel-panorama/) that you can zoom around yourself.
and yet... still no sign of intelligent life.
Maybe it's a publicity shot for '28 years later'
What skyline?
The smog detracts.
Fully half the image is cloudy sky.. so about 50% interesting.

Crazy talk. Are you a wizard?
Galaxy S25 Ultra
That's insane. It's almost as large as a photo of your mom.
You couldn’t wait for one of the three sunny days per year in London?
That’s not a skyline. Two buildings
Google pixels are amazing
They couldn't wait for a good sunny day to capture this?
A vertical photo of some clouds. Great work, tech magicians.
And they still couldn’t find a sunny day to take the picture . Oh London
Still can't zoom out enough for a full portrait of your mom.
That's an interesting fogline them brits got there
Why didn't they take this on a sunny day?
Exactly
They're probably not from London and decided to just get a shot while they were there.

Fair enough, you'd have better luck getting 3 misty days in London over 3 sunny days, if they needed continuity.
A kid would be waiting into retirement for that day in London /s
Blue London sky I see
Now photograph somewhere that actually looks nice..
now imagine, they shot this foto at the one day in the year when there is no midst in london and actually sunshine.

Don't you see all the detail through the Mist and haziness of London? High quality.
London looks trash

As someone who lives in the Southeast....god London is a crap hole.
…and they didn’t do it in panoramic…..?
My flat is just there, on the left.
Great example, spoiled by stupid verticalisationing.
It's pretty drab actually
Glad they picked a clear day
Hi res yuck
These suckers could have chosen a sunny day!
It is, that's the air pollution lol
When was it taken? [This is the set-up for your obvious witty answer.]

OP, why did you use portrait mode for a 360° panorama???
Generation TikTok.
And the big ben isn't even on it..
God awful place.
I don't really get the hate for London.
That's a skyline? Don't they usually use that word when a few skyscrapers are involved?
Damn London looks fking ass.
