Gigapixel photography

So John shared this great website he found at work one day with me last night. This site is a collection of photographs (mostly panoramas) that have been taken using a gigapixels camera. It allows you to zoom way into the photograph and is amazing (basically it takes a million small snapshots inside the one big panoramic). John thought this would be a great investigation tool for a crime scene...

My favorite pictures were of the Boston Waterfront and the Grand Canyon. When you find a picture you like, there will be snapshot photos on the bottom that you can click on (i.e. a flag) and it will automatically zoom into that part of the picture for you. You can also just zoom in yourself using the zoom function on the left to look around the picture (this was pretty cool with a graduation picture to check out the people in the stands). It is truly awesome! Enjoy!
