Really Big Digital Pictures
Digital pictures are a huge part of everyones life now-a-days. With all the little kids bragging about how many megapixles their camera has, I think these guys win. Their 2.5 GigaPixle photo contains over 7.5 gigabytes of data. This is one huge image! Playing around with the zooming image is quite impressive. You can even tell the time on the big clock in the background, or even read the license plates on the cars! I just wish he would have taken a picture of something more interesting...
There are others touting their horn with huge images like this as well. See an impressive picture of Bryce Canyon here, or some other cool pictures of more tropical and intresting settings here. Hmm...what should I make a huge picture of??
Here are some links to sites that can help you make your own panoramic and large pictures:
