It’s the largest panoramic photo ever taken: Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the European Alps, standing mighty and snow-capped.
Taken in late May by Italian photographer Filippo Blengini and Alessandra Bacchilega for the mammoth photographic project, in2white, the photograph was created over a period of 15 days at 11,482 feet above sea level from a total of 70,000 images of the stunning mountain scenery. In frosty 14 degree weather, the five-member team waited a total of 35 hours in the wild to capture every detail of Mont Blanc with a Canon EOS 70D (BrennweiteEF 400mm F2.8). A total of 46 TB of data were then processed in a two-month post-production phase to create what’s most probably the most accurate digital image of the Mont Blanc to-date.
