Quote from Tweakers.net :

The German Media AFB has the world's largest photo taken with a DSLR camera. The company has committed to Dresden with a picture of a 26 gigapixel resolution, and used a camera that is designed for the consumer. The picture was shot by the AFB Media company, so Slashdot says. The company used a Canon 5D Mark II, a high-end consumer dslr with a lens of 400 millimeters. The picture is actually a collage is composed from 1655 images of each 21.6 megapixels, all within 176 minutes were made.
The individual images were shot using a motorized tripod.

A computer with 16 processors and 48GB memory put the images together in a little under 4 days.

It was never before that such a great picture with a digital SLR with a lens made: 26,031,250,000 pixels and the image has a 3:1 aspect ratio. AFB Media has previously made a snapshot of 4.2 giga pixel.
The whole picture can be viewed in a specially designed website.

Quite cool, and interesting. You can see the leaves on the road from quite far.

CSI zoom style *YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH*

the fp on slashdot says it all.

This is kinda like gigapan, cept gigapan is a bunch of high res pics put together

http://www.gigapan.org/

its seems like a device basically the same as gigapan was used, it could have even been gigapan that was used, cos it works in practically the same way and they said it was a motorized tripod which gigapan sort of is,as the comments say its not a gigapixel photograph its a gigapixal collage, the differen

That's quite original.

you can't really ask every person that could possibly be in the picture to stay still while the camera rotates...

...which is exactly why these kinds of things aren't really suited for anything that... moves. Which counts out somewhat a lot of things.

Seems theyve fixed it now, there was a triangle of windows in the middle of nowhere and the hotel name was misaligned and repeated etc.

Well, this is what the United States was capable of in 1966:


One can only imagine what's possible now.

Give it a few more years and they might even be able to build their own Eiffel Tower. I meen when you think about it, even the Statue of Liberty is French...

Bump.

Someone has made another 26 Gigapixels photo, but this time in Paris, the music fits so good. And very nice photo!

Wow... That's amazing.

I don't understand why some people are masturbating over this. 26GPx, pfft. Ever heard of Google Maps or better yet, Google Earth?

And I suspect that the black and white photo of the Eiffel Tower is not from a sattelite, but from a plane (took from quite an angle, unusual for for a sattelite photo), which is not that awesome for 1966.

But then again, I might be wrong.

Yeah, but this is something else, this is made with consumer camera's, and not some hyper fancy stuff from space.

Enhance that.

Okay, enhance that.

Hmmm, enhance that.

Enhance that!

What is that? Enhance it.

Enhance that.

Enhance...

Enhance.

Enhance please.

Enhance that.

I'm so easily amused. I can do this all day!
