  • Nice camera ..

    This is a remarkable panorama of the inauguration. It might not work well with a dial-up modem, but you can actually focus in on faces near the back of the crowd- nearly 1/2 mile!????

    For fun, focus on Obama (center stage) and then look behind him. There's Clarence Thomas seemingly asleep, **** Cheney in his wheelchair, Clinton, Gore, Bush 41 and even Dan Quayle! Scalia is sitting there looking like the Grand Inquisitor. The clarity is amazing!

    The technology is truly amazing- and it's un-classified!? Imagine what our spy agencies can see with classified technology!!!

    'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
    He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

      From the main page: "I made this Gigapan image from the north press platform during President Obama's inaugural address at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC on January 20, 2009. It's made up of 220 images and the final image size is 59,783 X 24,658 pixels or 1,474 megapixels." - David Bergman

      To get a better idea the actual quality of the camera used:

      1,474 (total megapixels) ÷ 220 (combined images) = 6.7 megapixels per image.

      And to be totally blown away, pan to the upper right corner of the picture to see how far away people were willing to stand, just so they could say they were there.
