Largest Photo in the world: 70 Gigapixels

[Khalistani Soldier]

Not really someone that's into photography or anything, but I thought this was pretty cool.

"It's just been a few months since a 45-gigapixel panorama of Dubai claimed the title of world's largest digital photograph, but it's now already been well and truly ousted -- the new king in town is this 70-gigapixel, 360-degree panorama of Budapest. As with other multi-gigapixel images, this one was no easy feat, and involved two 25-megapixel Sony A900 cameras fitted with 400mm Minolta lenses and 1.4X teleconverters, a robotic camera mount from 360world that got the shooting done over the course of two days, and two solid days of post-processing that resulted in a single 200GB file -- not to mention a 15-meter-long printed copy of the photograph for good measure."

Zooooom, Zooooom, Zooooooooooom!!

It's actually not that harmful to your computer's processing efforts.

Here's the previous largest picture, 45 gigapixel shot of Dubai for those who are interested

The second link didn't work for me

 

[Khalistani Soldier]

...the second link; click it and wait a second, the picture takes a second to load up at the very top of the site. It's not a 360 like the first one.

This is really cool. But a 200GB photo? A few mins ago I was think a 6MB magazine cover I designed was too large
