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)?
