Ein unglaubliches 1.474 Megapixel Foto von Obamas Vereidigung.

Sehr cool: David Bergman hat ein 1.474 Megapixel Foto von der Vereidigung von US Präsident Barack Obama gemacht:

In dem Foto kann man bis auf einzelne Gesichter einzoomen! Und das von ganz Links bis nach ganz Rechts.

Hier ist die Beschreibung, wie David das Foto gemacht hat:

I made a panoramic image showing the nearly two million people who watched President Obama’s inaugural address. To do so, I clamped a Gigapan Imager to the railing on the north media platform about six feet from my photo position. The Gigapan is a robotic camera mount that allows me to take multiple images and stitch them together, creating a massive image file.

My final photo is made up of 220 Canon G10 images and the file is 59,783 X 24,658 pixels or 1,474 megapixels. It took more than six and a half hours for the Gigapan software to put together all of the images on my Macbook Pro and the completed TIF file is almost 2 gigabytes.
