Canada Day 2011 is a 7.2 billion pixel image, 90° view of the famous Vancouver skyline from across Stanley Park. The image is composed of 1224 individual photos taken on July 1, 2011 using a GigaPan EPIC Pro, Canon EOS Rebel T2i and a Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM. The horizontal banding is due to the change in cloud and lighting conditions during the 90 minute shoot. It is the largest digital photo ever created of the Vancouver Skyline as of July 2011.
Peter Grainger of CTV News BC interviewed Ronnie Miranda for the GigaPan images he created of the 2011 Stanley Cup Canucks Game 5 Fan Zone. The feature was aired on June 13, 2011.
As part of the story and with the help of CTV News, Ronnie created a 2.4 gigapixel panorama of the Vancouver Canucks away game viewing at Rogers Arena for Game 6.
