It's just been a few months since a 45-gigapixel panorama of Dubai claimed the title of world's largest digital photograph, but it's now already been well and truly ousted -- the new king in town is this 70-gigapixel, 360-degree panorama of Budapest. As with other multi-gigapixel images, this one was no easy feat, and involved two 25-megapixel Sony A900 cameras fitted with 400mm Minolta lenses and 1.4X teleconverters, a robotic camera mount from 360world that got the shooting done over the course of two days, and two solid days of post-processing that resulted in a single 200GB file -- not to mention a 15-meter-long printed copy of the photograph for good measure. Of course, what's most impressive is the photo itself. Hit up the source link below and start zooming in.

It takes forever to load, be warned.

I had a bit of fun playing around, zooming in, etc.

At least they say upfront that they are combined images; stitched together from thousands of smaller photographs. Once a single camera can capture a 70GP image, I may be interested... But this is just a matter of time and patience; not really technology.

It's still nice to play around with the result.

No argument there. That actually used to be my desktop for a long, long time.
