1.5 GIG Panoramic

I came across a very cool image of the inauguration that has been circulating worldwide. It's a panoramic shot that allows you to zoom in very close to people and still be able to see all the details. This is due the fact that the picture is made up of 220 images stitched together.

The photographer, David Bergman, used a Gigapan device, which holds the camera and clicks the shutter through a programmed sequence to capture the entire scene you want. Sounds like a fun toy to play with.

Check out the image HERE.
