Wow. Just had someone send me a link to David Bergman’s 1,474-Megapixel photo of President Obama’s inauguration. The image was made by stitching together 220 separate digital images, and it allows you to zoom in on individuals within the estimated 2 million people in attendance.The fact that you can zoom in from the panoramic view to almost read the sheet music on the Marine Corp. Band’s music stands shows us all the additional power / opportunities / experiences that digital formats can unlock.Kudos, David.

Chuck,That’s very cool. Along those lines, take a look how CNN crowdsourced images from the inauguration taken by people from all different angles and perspectives:http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2009/44.president/inauguration/themoment/
Yes the image is impressive but you have to also understand that the technology used to make the picture is actually even more impressive. The device the photographer used is called The GigaPan Epic Imager which is a computer that assists in allowing any camera to take super mega pixel pictures. The unit is priced where any consumer could actually purchase and begin to shoot giga pixel pictures which is just amazing.
