You can zoom in on any one of the faces and scenes -- it really is spectacular!
What interesting is how it was made .
He writes, in part,
"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.
Use the controls to zoom and pan around the photo. You can also double click to zoom in and double click again to get even closer."
And for those who are really interested in the Gigapan Imager and its setup, check here (there are several parts to this in separate videos).
And if you want their Gigapan Stitcher, it's free and here, but only really useful with the imager.
