Here is a photo taken using a panorama image capturing device called gigapan created by the carnegie mellon university and a canon g10 camera. The photographer had to click 220 snaps from that camera to get this complete view of the Obama's inaugural address. It took a macbook pro around 7hrs to process the complete image. The final size of the image is over 2GB. copy paste the link in IE. Zoom in and see, you can easily kill several hours checking out all the faces there......... |
