70 Billion Pixels Picture of Budapest

(capital of Hungary - for the Americans)


http://70gigapixel.cloudapp.net/


Any photographer that could explain how this was taken/possible?

"The shot was created with a pair of Sony A900 cameras, fitted with 400mm lenses. The cameras were mounted to a rotating robot which pounded the shutter button for two days. The images were then processed over another two days. The end result is a 200 GB file." -

I still don't get it. The camera and lenses look like something everyone would have access to. How come they managed to take such huge pictures with sick zoom capabilities?

20,000 pictures and days of post processing. In other words....SCIENCE.

Don't worry. It's hard knowing geography that is not related to one's own environment.

maybe he's talking about that one particular year

(then you'd use a ' right?)

Since the year can't be misread, apostrophe use doesn't really matter:

It's not correct, and I take offense to grammatical & syntactical abuse being pinned as, simply, 'American usage.'


...even though they are quite prevalent.

Don't be such a snob. Displacement causes language to change over the years.

It's the same thing as Spanish in Spain vs. Spanish in Mexico. It's the same language, but with small differences. You knew what he meant, just like someone from Spain can understand someone from Mexico and vice-versa. It doesn't make one or the other wrong, just different.
