Authors, sign in!This is very cool... One gigantic photo of the Inauguration. I'd love to know how he did that.
My favorite is snapshot 15 of Bush.
By: David Bergman (DavidBergman) on January 22, 2009I 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.
LARGE FORMAT PRINTS OF THIS IMAGE ARE NOW AVAILABLE HERE:

I have a GigaPan unit - some of your fellow Everyday Citizens from Hays, KS might already be familiar with my GigaPans (http://www.gigapan.org/viewProfile.php?userid=1252).
The basic methodology is straightforward. You mount a standard point-and-shoot digital camera onto the small GigaPan robot, which is mounted atop a tripod. You tell the robot what the field of view of a single, zoomed-in image is, and then you specify the top-left and bottom-right corners of the GigaPan you want to shoot. The GigaPan robot takes over from there. It will automatically calculate how many photos it needs to shoot to cover the area specified with a grid of overlapping photos and then it proceeds to pan and tilt the camera and shoot the grid of images. Later, you download the images onto a computer and stitch them together with free software and finally upload them to the free GigaPan.org website. It's a pretty intuitive process and the GigaPan robot is now commercially available for about $380. I love it, and if you're into photography I highly recommend buying one.
