70,000 photographs in every direction over 35 hours of shooting.

How do they deal with changing lights, shadows, clouds, moving objects etc. during that time?

OK, answer seems to be: They don't.

If you look at the photo more closely, one can see stitching artefacts everywhere

Score another point for "sharpness is over-rated."

Yeah, after a point it doesn't seem to add anything. And it can kind of hurt your eyes. You want to back away from it.

Super Bowl 53

Something exciting happened football-wise that I just gotta talk about. Because I don't want to hijack the thread -- something I hardly ever do -- I'll spoil the rest.

:::

The most amazing coincidence. I was reading Sherman and Wedge's book 12: The Inside Story of Tom Brady's Fight for Redemption, and it told in great detail -- five chapters worth! -- what happened in Superbowl LI. Man alive, it was the most exciting thing I've ever redd in nonfiction. You couldn't have pried me away with a crowbar. This was yesterday. Found out this very morning that I redd it on the anniversary of that incredible game. Was that like kismet or what???

Dang, I envy the people who were there to witness that game.
