Of the inaugeration: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapanFullscreen.php?id=15374

You can zoom in on any section. I tried to find the secret service snipers but no luck. I do think Clarence Thomas is napping though. If you were there can you find yourself?

I'm more impressed with the photograph and the process to get it than the fact that it is of the inaugeration but sticking it in the Politics folder anyway.

Pretty amazing. Here the photographer talks about how he managed it: http://www.davidbergman.net/blog/2009/01/22/how-i-made-a-1474-megapixel-photo-during-president-obamas-inaugural-address/

Very, very nice photograph. Clarence Thomas does look like he's asleep, or maybe looking at something he's holding. The detail is just incredible.

Top tier of the cap building all I see are spotting scopes and guys on standby.

There's a guy two rows up from obama's head who has four eyes.

LOL I noticed that right off the bat.


Awesome picture however and I must say the want ads have picked up in the last week... coincidence perhaps but I think there is a change in attitude.

Heh, yeah, I saw those guys right off too. There's more guys on a building top farther out but it's hard to see much detail on them.

I wonder how much that camera cost.

Cameras, actually. According to the blog where the guy outlined how he did it, he took 220 individual shots and blended them together.

GretchenI wonder how much the cameraS cost. You used to remind the teacher there was supposed to be a test, didn't you?

That would have been me.

I loved quizzes and tests.
