    Amazing Inauguration Photo

    Check out this fascinating panorama photo of the inauguration. You can zoom in on any face in the crowd. Aretha Franklin is there with her hat on if you missed seeing her the first time around.

    Remarkable technology. The resolution is a super high 1,474 Megapixel Zoom.

          i guess it's stitched like making panoramic pics,including blending in zoomed in shots?

                  I saw that a few days ago. It is amazing but not perfect. Some faces are chopped. That doesn't take away from the overall effect though.

                      Cool pic. I was surprised how fast it loaded.

                      On a slightly different topic ... here is a link to "Autostitch" trial program that will stitch together multiple photos into a panoramic. Kinda like a lo rez version of the Inauguration Photo. TV ads say that MS Vista can do this, too. (?)

                              See if you can find Aretha Franklin. Sorta of like where's Waldo.

                                  Is it just me, or is Clarence Thomas (Supreme Court Justice) asleep?

                                      I wonder if the guy with the chopped off head was moving his head down as pic was being snapped. It looks like the camera caught him in motion. There is another guy that looks like a monster because of the same thing. He's in the back row behind O'Bama on the left.

                                      Yes Clarance Thomas looks asleep.

                                      Dick Cheney reminds me of the evil guy in Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark.
