This has been done for years to produce gigapixel images. In fact, there's even commercial hardware to make them easier to make (see: http://gigapan.com http://gigapan.com). As this made headline news when it was done for President Obama's inauguration back in January of 2009 (among other examples), can someone clue me in on why Slate thought this was novel or new?
- sp332 14y agoIt's not just a big photo. If you read the article you would see that these are fantastical works of art made from lots of photos and a lot of photoshop.
- moultano 14y agoDid you read the article, or look at the pictures? They aren't simple panoramas.
- jsjohnst 14y agoYes, and yes... Did you make the same comment on the other people focusing on the panorama portion of it over the art portion?
