Incredible Optics and Big Brother!

The ultimate in people watching……..



This is a photo from the 2009 Inauguration, in which you can see IN FOCUS the face of each individual in the crowd!!!!

You can scan, double click and zoom to any section of the crowd... wait a few seconds... and the focus adjusts.

The picture was taken with a robotic camera at 1,474 mega pixel. (295 times the standard 5 mega pixel camera)

Who's watching us right now!!!!!!!!

One single photo taken with this thing would be 8.8gb!!! (TIFF, uncompressed CKMY)

Quite incredible!!

Well, not quite.

If you look at the comments in this thread, you will see that not everybody in this image has a face.

And if you also look at this thread, you'll probably understand why we can close this one. :surrender:
