http://www.gigapan.com/gigapans/75554 GigaPan’s robotic camera mounts can help spit out pictures to create fantastically detailed panoramic photos. That’s what photographer Gerald Donovan has used to create what is being billed as the world’s largest photo. Donovan has created a 45-gigapixel image of Dubai that, if printed, would be the size of nearly 1,200 billboards, says GigaPan. The photo consists of 4,250 pictures that took about three-and-a-half hours to shoot. “This was intended as a technical test,” Donovan said in a statement. “It was about exploring the limits of the hardware and software out there.” Check out the 45-gigapixel photo of Dubai http://www.gigapan.com/gigapans/75554 You can zoom in and out and get a great view of Dubai including the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khailfa. The picture isn’t crystal clear though. Donovan says the poor air quality in Dubai when he shot the photo is to blame.
