OK, I know this isn't nature-oriented, but it's just plain interesting when someone stitches together 1,665 images from a 5D Mark II. Have a look!
(FYI, it took a system with 48GB ram and 16 processors over nearly 4 days to do this...)

LOL!! Getting that thing under the 200KB upload limit would BE a weekly challenge, it'd probably take that long.

Nah - no need to resize. Just take a screen capture and save it as a JPG. When you're throwing that much info away anyway, it would probably be just as good.

LOL! Stinker...

An amazing number of images stitched to create an image of no significance other than its technical marvel.

And I'd say that this is STILL the largest photo ever and it wasn't measured in megapixels, but in feet. 31ft7in X 111ft in a single shot. And frankly I don't think this photograph is particularly interesting either.

Wow, that's some project. To see all it took with the barrels of emulsion and using a pool liner for a developing tray is interesting, but when you get to a scale that big, is it really worth the effort and expense? Sounds more like something to boast about. It's not like it turned out the most incredible image we've ever seen, I agree with you there.
Hey, totally off topic, have you noticed that when you start a thread and get an email about a reply, often the name in the email is wrong? Slight website bug there. The email came in and says that Stan Rose replied, not you (Mel). I've seen that before. Guess I should write Jim and let him know...
