I stumbled upon this pretty amazing website this morning (with a bit of direction from Jonathan) and thought it was worth sharing…
It is currently the largest picture in the world (above is cropped), and here are a few stats about it:
Taken with a Canon 5D mark II and a 400mm lens
Consists of 1,665 full format pictures – each of which are 21.4 megapixel
Recorded by a photo-robot in 172 minutes
102GB of raw data
Data conversion by computer took 94 hours
297,000 px x 87,500 px (26 gigapixel)
Don’t see what all the fuss is about? Go and take a look at it yourself!
