    Severe focus issues too at close up for viewing about 3 miles away :D Must be that damn robotic shake / motion blur :rolleyes:

    On the gigapan homepage they take the same image and do an interesting animation to some sharp shooters literally a couple of miles away.

    a large format Film camera could have taken that better and you could blow it up 20 foot by 40 foot !

    I kinda fancy the blonde in the fifteenth row with the slightly indented left bicuspid :D

    That's amazing! There are a few stitching oddities though, I suppose you can't expect a couple of million people to stay still for a few minutes.
