2.5 Gigapixel photo

Postby Manta on Wed Feb 23, 2005 9:40 am

Here's something interesting:

http://www2.tno.nl/industrie_en_technie ... /index.xml

Nikon D1x, 80 minutes to photograph the 600 individual images, 24 hours to optimise the images, 3 days with 5 PCs to complete the stitch.

Someone got a big bill at the end of all this!!

Check out the "Making of..." link

I'm pretty sure this has been talked about somewhere else here. Impressive, but wouldn't you think they'd have taken a little more interesting a picture

Sorry! You're right Stubbsy.
I broke the Golden Rule - Do a Search First.
Kindly ignore.

:oops: :oops: :oops:

I think it's a pretty uninspired photo also - all that effort and for what? I can only think they had no money left for petrol to drive somewhere interesting!

Oh, and if it's all in Deutch - and if you haven't seen it already -click on the little Union Jack at the top.

Hmmm... I hope no Dutch people read that... they get quite offended when their language gets confused with German (their arch-enemies)... :lol:

Well, I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone - not the Germans, not the Dutch, not even you! :) I apologise to anyone who may have been offended.

But I don't understand: by making an (admittedly poor) joke by bastardising one country's language, I could offend a whole other country?

Political correctness ain't what it used to be! :lol:

Don't worry - you didn't offend me and I was only joking (sort of)...

The language of the original website link was Dutch not German... You're joke resembled German more than Dutch... Dutch people typically hate it when people confuse their language with German... I hope it's clear now... :lol: :lol: :lol:
