This is a composite of two captures with the Rodenstock 70mm HR-Digaron-W lens, each made with the back shifted up 15mm, and then with the individual captures shifted 18mm left and right, respectively. The result is two "side-by-side" 4x3 vertical images, with just enough overlap to allow them to be stitched together into a single 5x7 horizontal frame, yielding a total of about 270 megapixels.
The equivalent field of view on a "full frame" 35mm camera would be roughly that of a 26mm lens.
@mattblaze@federate.social I like the alt text.
This is part of a set of two similarly framed images of Vegas. This one, made during the day, shows the strip at its most depressing, looking like a failed mega-mall and theme park that you might find off a forgotten exit near an interstate highway. The other one, at night, shows the strip at its best, such as it is, with the lights and excess at least hinting at some sense of glamor and excitement
