Gigapixel 360 Panorama from the Shard

360 gigapixel panorama shot from the crane at the top of the Shard, London Bridge while it was still under construction. The Shard is the tallest building in the European Union and the viewing gallery opened to the public in 2013. Most of London and beyond is visible in this Gigapixel image, from the skyscrapers of the City of London and Canary Wharf, the many bridges crossing the River Thames to the distant arch of Wembley Stadium.

I was lucky enough to be commissioned to shoot the views from the Shard while it was under construction, before the views at this height were glazed in. It was slightly nerve-wracking climbing up the various platforms and onto the crane, laden down with camera gear – you can read more about this shoot in The Times who reported on it at the time.
