Friday, July 30, 2010 at 6:09AM World's largest digital photograph
For at least the next 48 hours, the city of Budapest can lay claim to producing the world's largest digital image. So let us praise the pixels. All 70 billion of them. To accomplish this monumental task, the team used two 25-megapixel Sony A900 cameras fitted with 400mm Minolta lenses, and a robotic camera mount that got the shooting done over the course of two days. The result is a 200GB file.
Like Google Maps on steroids, you can zoom using the magnification controls or by simply clicking on any of the user-defined "snapshots." I guess this it would be like to have 20/20,000 vision. Yes, I made that last number up. (If there are any mathematicians out there, I'm curious what the calculation would be.)
