Gigapixel Images
Max Lyons has created gigapixel images. Using a 6-megapixel camera and some fairly rigorous software, Max has been able to create panoramic pictures with a density of over one billion pixels. Sure, it prints nice when you've got a photo quality plotter and some empty wall space, but even at good old computer browser resolution, what the man accomplishes is fairly amazing. Using a fairly complicated plug-in for Photoshop and a machine that doesn't mind churning away at a file for a couple of days, he stiches together nearly two hundred digital images to create the massive single picture.
Enough of me yammering about it. The man has an online gallery of his work. Go look here.
