The following was circulated via email (Thanks, Kristi) but I thought it was interesting enough to post. You really cannot hide any more. Time to buy a balaclava.
You used to be able to get lost in the crowd, but not anymore. This is a photograph of 2009 Obama Inauguration. You can see IN FOCUS the face of EACH individual in the crowd !!! You can scan and zoom to any section of the crowd. . . Wait a few seconds. Double click anywhere . And the focus adjusts to give you a very identifiable close up. The picture was taken with a robotic 1474 megapixel camera (295 times the standard 5 megapixel camera). Every one attending could be scanned after the event, should something have gone wrong during it. Click on:
Wow, what an amazing picture!
ReplyDeleteThe Obama crowd shot wasn't too bad either.
The gigapan crowd shot is pretty interesting. If you click on the link to the gigapan site they show some things in the picture like being able to read the label and a person's water bottle.
ReplyDeleteI'm not clicking on that photo..no way....lol...I wonder if they had a little sign out like they do in the drugstores...this area is under video surveilance...lol..I know that is not the right spelling..too lazy to look it up..
ReplyDeleteomg that is amazing. or scary. a little of both i guess. Wonder when we'll get to buy this camera and how much it is.
ReplyDeleteI assume part of your wedding vows included "til purchase of flowers do us in"?
