Incredible image of Obama’s inauguration – see how close you can get with zoom…

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

This is one of those incredible ultra-high definition that allows you to get up close and personal with Obama, and members of the crowd!

Zoom in  (‘double-click on an area) ….and watch it focus on the inauguration of President Obama. Then zoom some  more… and wait for it to come into focus. You can almost see what’s written on his note-pad!

What a surveillance tool this is. And what a record of one of the biggest events in our lifetimes!

This picture was taken  with a robotic camera and weighs in at 1,474 megapixel. (295  times the standard 5 megapixel camera). It was a Canon that  pulled together over 200 individual shots.

Each zoom in  takes a second to focus …and then you can see some amazing  reactions.

Bonus points if you find Yo-Yo Ma ….  taking a picture with his iPhone! (Well, you would, wouldn’t you)?
