Giant Panoramic GigaPan Photo of The Presidential Inauguration

by Scott Beale on January 26, 2009 · 0 comments

NYC photographer David Bergman shot an amazing GigaPan photo of Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration and address on the Mall in DC. Here’s the fullscreen version.

The GigaPan process takes a series of photos and stitches them together to create a giant panoramic photo than you can pan and zoom greater detail using the GigaPan viewer. For instance, here’s Bush & Cheney and Bill & Hillary.

David explains how he made the GigaPan photo using 220 images shot with a Canon PowerShot G10 that were combined to create a giant 59,783 X 24,658 pixel (1,474 megapixels) image. He is planning on selling high quality prints of this photo.
