A 1,474-Megapixel Photo Of Obamas Inaugural Address


Photographer David Bergman made a panoramic image showing the nearly two million people who watched President Obama's inaugural address. To do so, he clamped a Gigapan Imager to the railing on the north media platform about six feet from his photo position.

Comprised of over 220 images, the incredibly detailed panorama is filled with pieces of information that you previously weren't able or bothered to see. Some are just obviously cool - nearly being able to read the sheet music on performers stands, seeing the comically varied expressions in the VIP area behind the President as he speaks - but others are more subtly awesome.
