FASCINATING BUT SCARY!!!
You used to be able to get lost in the crowd, but not anymore. Double click on any area in the picture to bring the person closer. Or, just click the mouse and use the mouse wheel to bring them closer.

This is scary----kinda puts an end to the old saying, "you can get lost in the crowd"-

This is a photograph of 2009 Obama Inauguration. You can see IN FOCUS the face of EACH individual in the crowd !!!

You can scan and zoom to any section of the crowd. . . wait a few seconds. . double click anywhere . and the focus adjusts to give you a very identifiable close up.

The picture was taken with a robotic 1474 megapixel camera (295 times the standard 5 megapixel camera).
Every one attending could be scanned after the event, should something have gone wrong during it.

Your picture

I know, but I just seen it.

Wonder how long it will be before they put RF chips in babies when they are born.

Sorry for being repost nazi, it is an awesome image.

You can even see the spotters on the buildings in the background.

The funny thing about looking close up at some of those people you can see them taking pictures with their camera phones. I mean for crying out loud... If you were going to the innaugaration wouldn't you at least drag a nice camera along?

Ive done a few of these types of images...this image here is from downtown Dallas when we stayed at the Sheraton last year. It's a 150 megapixel image that I made from about 45 different shots...
