#12Hey, you can read the wristwatch of one guy!! Awesome resolution ... But they should pixelize the faces properly.

#13Isn't this sort of pointless? If it were from a single sensor, or a single shot of a camera with multiple sensors, it might be something, but anyone can take a limitless number of zoomed-in images and stitch them together. How about someone stitches together all the Google street view images of I-95 into a big panorama? New world record?
Not at any quality with off-the-shelf software they can't, not that I've found anyway. Most software gives up a very long way short of this sort of resolution.

#14For those who can't read Spanish, these are some tech details: The gigapan is composed of 9750 pictures (f16, 1/800 S, ISO800) taken with a robotized Canon 5D MkII, a 400mm Canon lens and a duplicator (effectively 800mm of focal lens), and put together using Autopano Giga on a PC with two 6-core Xeons, 40GB RAM and 8TB disk space. Full details: Spanish: http://www.sevilla111.com/comosehizo.htm Google Translated: http…
Photo nerd - the bit of gear they use to turn a 400mm lens into an 800mm lens is called a 2x teleconverter. You get double the focal length for a reduction of two stops in the available aperture and generally a loss of optical resolution.

#15If there ever was a city on Earth who's beauty is worth 111 gigapixels, then surely it is Seville. If you ever get the opportunity, GO THERE.
Well, quite seriously, if it was so, then why I see just some very large photo of a very dull and ugly regional town somewhere?
The image seriously doesn't do the city justice.
I spent 10 years of my life travelling the world, and Seville really is a jewel. Big time.
My holiday snaps (are rubbish but) better portray the energy at ground level:

Edit: for some reason dropbox id 404ing those links. Check google images for Sevilla instead.

This must have been poor placement of the camera rig because I've heard good things about this place and these photos don't measure up.

Quien no ha visto Sevilla - no ha visto Maravilla! but Quien no ha visto Granada - no ha visto nada!
I'd love to go to Granada. Hopefully next time. :-)

#18FYI, some of the photographed sidewalk ads are clickable and take you to the merchants website.
Location of one of them: Pan left until you see a rombus shaped roof with square patches of soil and grass on it. Zoom in closer and take look on the right for a standing sidewalk ad.

#19I wish it were possible to down load the original image(s), it would make a great computing challenge for some of my friends trying to learn GPU processing with MPI =)

"but Quien"
as a British guy living in Spain I can relate to this spanglish :)
