Couldn't quite get the font match.

EDIT: Anyone notice rob's Americanism on the FP?

# works here!
that's a nice use of technology- how do you avoid blurring at such hi res?

*checks every window for nudey ladies- surely probability is on my side*

# zoom in, take lots of photos, stitch them together into one large image
is about the gist of it. Think this one was about 200 photos

# Nice, how did you make it?

I remember the first gigapixels thingy a couple of years ago of the Delft tech uni area. There was commotion about license plates being readble, or a crime happening or something, I can't remember exactly

# plenty of stitching software around
and tutorials

Autostitch is good for free, autopano pro paid but better

# I'm sorry if I was not clear in my question
I use autostitch all the time, I'm just not sure how you took the pics. Are they a lot of pictures taken with a zoom lens?

And how did you get the nice zooming thingy? Is that the website that hosts it?

pictures are taken from a hill on a tripod with a superzoom camera (a.k.a bridge, prosumer ...), cameras which can zoom in alot. I usually use a kodak z8612 (12x optical zoom) but for this one i borrowed a fuji finepix s8000 (18x optical)

# Ah, I see
No use trying this with a resonably good 300m lens then, I guess. Cheers.

# 300 should be good enough
300mm and 12MP i guess would be about as good as an 8MP and 450mm equiv. Also this was a fairly narrow field of view, if you can find a vantage point that fills more of the view, you can go bigger just by going wider/taller. another recent image crept over a gigapixel at only 150mm equiv just because it went the whole 360 degrees

and even if you dont manage a gigapixel, a few hundred megapixels is still enough to make a pretty impressive picture

# I think I will give it a try then
when I can think of a subject with a nice vantage point

# oh and the hosting
is on gigapan, a site for people to share large images, the viewer is embedable, hence is embeded on my site.

some images are hosted in my own webspace with the zoomify viewer (zoomify.com i think)

gigapan? Sounds like indutrial sized spanging imminent ;)

/edit: apparently, it was as early as 2004 that they made it, and it was 2.5 GP.
No mention of any anomalies here though
