Before the inauguration I wrote about CNN and Microsoft’s plan for a Photosynth shot of “The Moment.” Boring. Sorry guys I was expecting a lot more and I’d be dishonest if I didn’t say I was disappointed. If I had it to do over I’d tell you instead to be on the lookout for David Bergman’s panorama. His is the money shot!
Covering 194.19 degrees of width, 80.09 degrees height this composite is nearly 1.5 gigapixels–59,783 X 24,658 pixels! No one camera or lens could provide that kind of resolution so Bergman relied on 220 separate shots.
