Take a look at these gigapixel images were taken with a custom camera made from bits and pieces of decommissioned Cold War hardware!! The images are taken with ultra-high resolution (4000dpi) film plates (9-inch-by-18-inch) and digitally scanned by ultra-high resolution scanners (6um resolution) giving the final gigapixel resolution image. Each image fills a DVD.
Just to give you a sense of scale of this, a full resolution print of these images can be as large as billboards with no loss of resolution or graining. 'Oceanside Pier' and 'People watching'
are two other incredible images in the same gallery that illustrate the resolution and contrast this photography has.
Incredible stuff.....
