The 1,474 Megapixel Panoramic Photo of President Obama's Inauguration.


"Using the same NASA technology that Mars rovers routinely use to image the Red Planet, photographer David Bergman created an unprecedented 1,474 megapixel panoramic photo of President Obama's inauguration. (For comparison, an ordinary digital photo contains less than 10 megapixels.,,,,,he detail is amazing. You can see Hilary Clinton's white earrings, Barbara Bush's fuzzy black earmuffs, the word "Obama" stitched on spectators' winter hats, Yo-Yo Ma taking a picture with his iPhone, and much more"

Click HERE to access the photo and for details as to how it was made.

For those of you who are computer challenged, just left click and hold on the picture to move it around, and use your center ball (on your mouse) to pan in and out for more or less detail within the picture. This photographer is a genius. (Please notice his surname).
