1,474 Megapixel Panorama Shows Off Inauguration

Photographer David Bergman captured 220 images of Barack Obama’s Presidential Inauguration, then stitched them together creating an incredibly detailed panoramic photograph. All of you photo-geeks will appreciate the technology going in to his project – Bergman clamped his Gigapan-mounted Canon G10 to a railing, allowing the robotic mount to photograph the action. He then processed the captured images on his Macbook Pro with Gigapan software, creating a ginormous 2 gigabite, 1,474 megapixel TIF file.

Like the Where’s Waldo of Inaugurations, see if you can spot Yo-Yo Ma photographing the scene with his i-Phone.
