I wonder how long it took? If it's fast, it would be scary, imagine taking picture of crowds...

- djtriptych 4y agoI'd guess 10 minutes up to an hour on modern hardware, say a new mac studio. That would be in lightroom - I'm guessing they're using optimized software for this though. Taking the actual pictures takes at least couple minutes. The Sony A1 can take 50mp shots at 20 fps - pretty amazing. That's (conveniently) 1 gigapixel per second. So minimum 2 minutes to capture this entire image. Add at least a second between shots for the robotic housing and we're talking 4+ minutes. Could certainly be used to capture most of the faces in a huge crowd.
- lupka 4y agoThey do crowd shots like this quite a bit at sporting events and whatnot. I am in this one haha: http://gigapixel.panoramas.com/superbowl/2013/ http://gigapixel.panoramas.com/superbowl/2013/
