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.
Negligible or not, but a difference between outermost cameras
(left/right or top/bottom) may be not insignificant. In fact, it would
depend on a subject matter. Shooting macro, e.g. in this arrangement can
be a real pain in the rear for registration in post processing. But then
again, if you have RAID, you ought to have RAID Controller and RAID
Driver - much code to write.
Another idea, somewhat similar to yours in general spirit may be to make
a device that will control camera rotation and then you can take several
shots in rapid burst rotation a camera ever so little between the
shots... Kind of semi-instant panoramic shot.
