HUGE Photo from the inauguration
David Bergman setup a GigaPan system at the inauguration. Check out the 1,474 Megapixel photo that was created. That’s 1,474 not 1.474 like I thought when I first read the description. Zoom on in, and then zoom some more. Update: check out the snapshots on the GigaPan site. Helps to key into the level of detail as it zooms.
