To celebrate a record breaking year, we’ve taken the world’s biggest picture of the capital. Taken after the end of the London 2012 Games, it's your chance to share your favourite views of the capital and to document London’s year in the global spotlight.

 

The 320 gigapixel image - taken by expert photography firm 360Cities – comprises 48,640 individual frames which have been collated into a single panorama by a supercomputer.

If printed at normal photographic resolution, it would be almost as tall and as wide as Buckingham Palace.

 

PS. Our old friend Buzby is hiding in the gigapixel image too. Find him, click the link and you could win one of three iPad 3's. Be the first, and you'll also get a year's free BT Broadband.

The 320 gigapixel panorama was photographed by Jeffrey Martin, Holger Schulze and Tom Mills (from expert panoramic photography firm 360Cities.net) and then subsequently created by Jeffrey Martin.

 

It is comprised of 48,640 individual images shot over a period of three days and processed over a period of three months.

 

The pictures were taken using Canon EOS 7D cameras with EF 400mm f/2.8 IS II USM lenses and Extender EF 2x III teleconverters driven by special Rodeon VR Head ST robotic panorama heads from the Clauss company in Germany.

 

If printed at normal resolution, the photo would be 98 meters long (323 feet) and 23 meters high (77 feet) – almost as big as Buckingham Palace.
