THE INAUGURATION (Zoom the whole crowd)

This camera is incredible.
Now I can appreciate how NASA takes pictures from outer space and can read your license plate.
Zoom in on the audience.
You can see everyone's face as recognizable.

Check out the senior Bush's. They are dressed for COLD weather...
Too fun.

2009 Inauguration Photo - SUPER HI-DEF

Zoom in ('double-click' an area) ....and watch it focus.

Then zoom some more... and wait for focus.

This picture was taken with a robotic camera and weighs in at 1,474 megapixel. (295 times the standard 5 megapixel camera)

It was a Canon that pulled together over 200 individual shots.
Each zoom in takes a second to focus ...and then you can see some amazing reactions.

Bergman's write up here:

The Gigapan tool he used here:

"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."

very interesting..

My Gigapan will be here on Tuesday. I can't wait to try it. A great creation by NASA and Carnegie Mellon University.

I hope that you will post some examples and give us a report on how it works. It appears to be very reasonably priced for what it does.

You can bet I will.
