    OK you photo taking types...check THIS out!





    The top half of this photo doesn’t seem that impressive until you consider it’s a crop from the bottom photo… which is a 6.2 gigapixel ultra-panorama stitched together from 602 raw images.

    Which is very cool

    It's not a satellite pic. Just some dude with a camera on top of a building who's panning it around and snapping lots of zoomed-in photos, then stitching them together on a computer.

    I completely fail to see what's interesting about it.
    kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.

    Me too - and I stitch photos together at times. The largest I've done was 22 metres by 2.4 metres at 72dpi. The others have been close to that as well.

    Not mine either - Peeping Tom meets Where's Wally for some.

    Wouldn't mind his computing grunt though.

    OK. I found three. I must say that I would not have expected there would be so many topless chicks in such a setting. Goes to show.
