Link to a 1,474 Megapixel Photo of Obama's Inaugural Address
/Click here for a link to an incredible panoramic picture of President Obama's inaugural address last Tuesday. David Bergman, the New York City based photographer who made the image, did it using a Gigaspan Imager that allowed him to patch together 220 Canon G10 images over a 6 1/2 hour period for a file that is almost 2 gigabites and about 60,000 x 25,000 pixels.
The picture has a Gigaspan Viewer that allows you to zoom in and discover very small details, kind of like an "I Spy" book. Take a look and see if you can find Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas apparently sleeping, a guy with a Green Bay Packers cap, Aretha Franklin with her very uh, unique green cap, sitting behind a man missing half his head (an apparent small imperfection in the photo patching process), Denzel Washington wearing a blue cap and standing, Yo-Yo Ma taking a picture with his iPhone and if you scroll closely enough, you can almost make out the notes on the sheet music of the Marine Corps band. Take a look at this amazing picture!
