Metropolitan Waterworks Museum in Boston

 One of the things I rather like doing is photography and videography especially if it involves some type of machinery. About mid August a good friend asked if I could photograph some of his Victorian stoves at the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum while they were on display for the month. I don't think I could have gotten there fast enough! It was a real treat to be able to spend a few hours filming at such a location. I should have that footage up in about another month or so. 

While there, I took the opportunity to try the pixel-shift function on my camera. Pixel-shifting is just that; the camera takes a picture then shifts over one pixel and takes another picture the cavate is that whatever you photograph must be completely still and you need a tripod.. Overall my model Sony (A7Riii) takes four of these pictures at which you then use Sony's software to stich the pictures back together for a super large high resolution picture. I'm not sure how well it will translate through the blog page, but have a zoom in on the detail.  And this picture is only at 80% of the full resolution; 42mp uncompressed 80mb time 4 runs out to a picture of 328mb, give or take. I was stunned how when it translated on a cell phone screen.  In fact, you could even read the dials on the lower left of the image. Enjoy!
