Mont Blanc becomes subject of world's largest photographMay 26, 2015 - 14:30 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - One of Europe's highest mountains Mont Blanc has become the subject of the world's largest photograph, Digital Spy reports. Italian snapper Filippo Blengini led an international team to the Alps to capture the gigantic panoramic image, which clocks in at a whopping 365 gigapixels. The mountain-sized photo is comprised of 70,000 pictures, shot by the team continuously during a gruelling 35 hours at an altitude of 3500 metres, in temperatures 10 degrees below freezing. Blengini and his team captured the image using a Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 II IS, a Canon 70D DSLR and a Canon Extender 2X III fixed to a Clauss robotic mount. Editing all 46 terabytes of the shoot took two months, and the resulting panoramic would measure in around the same size as a football pitch if printed out in full. The photograph is 45 gigapixels larger than the previous record-holder - a 320-gigapixel shot of London taken from the top of the BT Tower in 2013.
