What do you get if you combine 14 photos of 18MP each into one super massive pano?
Well, the answer is simple, a 26k by 4k pixel image. For non computer geeks, that is 26469 by 4528 pixels in one image! Count them one by one and you will get a total of 119,851,632 pixels. Yes, that is a 119 million pixel photo. Uhm, also, that file has a 1.5GB footprint on my computer's drive, yikes!
What can you do with such a big image?
Maybe someone just happening to be on the lookout for an image to print on a city block size billboard, will venture onto this page - hahaha, I wish ;-)
I've shrunk the image down so I can post it on the blog, but believe me, it does not even start to do justice to the detail in the original. I've also included a crop of a tiny portion of the image just to give you some indication of the resolution of the main file. See if you can spot where the crop comes from.
