Hold Still and Say Cheese!: BIG Inauguration Picture
What’s the best way to get 1.8 million people into one picture where you can see just about everyone with incredible clarity?
Well it better have a hell of a lot of megapixels, I’ll tell you that.
Like this one right here. David Bergman took a 1474 Megapixel (would that be 1.47 GIGApixels btw?) photo of the Inaugural address from the north press platform. The result is a stunning, large, (almost) endlessly zoomable work time-waster of a photo. Click on the center and navigate around-or use the “Snapshots” bar below it to zoom in on things other uses have already found interesting. My favorites so far (can’t link them, sorry!) are “invisible man” and “glitch in the matrix” (where clearly people were moving too quickly in their seats) and lots of people have already tagged themselves.
Enjoy!
