That was incredibly COOL :1st:

Click the thumbnails people, and watch the details appear.

This is the FIRST time firefox has ever crashed. 26 gigs can do that I guess :eek:

These are amazing things ... lookat the technical stats ..


Technical characteristics

The picture was made with the Canon 5D mark II and a 400mm-lens. It consists of 1,665 full format pictures with 21.4 megapixel, which was recorded by a photo-robot in 172 minutes. The converting of 102 GB raw data by a computer with a main memory cache of 48 GB and 16 processors took 94 hours. With a resolution of 297,500 x 87,500 pixel (26 gigapixel) the picture is the largest in the world. (stand December 2009)

It's a cool shot, but the general consensus is that it isn't very dramatic for all the work involved. It's been dubbed a technical achievement by the panoramic photographers.

I kinda felt the same way. I've spent WAY more time cruising around one of your Gigapix shots!
