So someone decided to use a really good camera to take a whole lot of pictures of the Inauguration and then stitch them all together. Were any of you there? Can you find yourself?

http://www.davidbergman.net/blog/2009/01/22/how-i-made-a-1474-megapixel-photo-during-president-obamas-inaugural-address/

I think I found the snipers...

found a fullscreen version. It's linked to in the first link.

Now would probably be a pretty good time to just smash all the inauguration-related threads into one gigantic organism. Smiley: lol

I thought about it, but I was more impressed by the picture itself then the fact that it was about the inauguration.

Besides, the more threads there are the more you can all post :D

I spent some time zooming in to the far reaches of the fullscreen version. Very impressive, and worth some digging around in, even though no-one I know of was there. Modern technology is cool like a mossy grotto of natural spring water.

Dude, Clarence Thomas is TOTALLY sleeping during the pic.

Directly behind Obama is Scalia w/his arm on the rail, Thomas is behind him.

Does this mean the British terrorists can use their earthquake causing satellite to cause massive havoc? Where's Pierce Brosnan when we need him?

Pretty amazing. You can almost read the notes off the marine band's music stands.


ETA: The digusted smirk on Bush's face is pretty funny.

I also like the fact that you can see the people/snipers on top of the roofs of all the buildings in the distance. There's a really good example in one of the buildings on the right.

I was amazed at how far out you could distinguish people with a reasonable chance of recognizing them.

Poor guy's head wasn't on straight. I bet he doesn't even remember the inauguration. Smiley: frown

Speaking as someone who's into amateur photography, that's an amazing feat.

If you look just below the camera tower, there are a pair of legs cut off just above the knees, standing there.

I found that being able to zoom in at such a large scale, quite amazing.

Just to the left of the lower legs (sans body), is a torso with no head. But he does have a nice camel hair coat on.

and then there's the poor camera man who's sitting on the concrete just a little ways above him, who appears to have had both his legs amputated right below the knee. Smiley: lol

In the foreground, just left of center there is a lamp post. Just to the left of the lamp post ( and to the right of the Air Force Staff Sgt) there is a man who appears to have a large liquid metal ***** emerging from his head. Definitely some kind of Terminator.

Zoom in enough and it looks like Obama's holding a joint.
