An amazing picture...

[Rick Rothstein]

The picture here was taken with a 2100 mega-pixel camera... 2100 mega-pixels. Zoom in on the crowds towards the center (you can use your mouse wheel, or at least I can)... recognize anyone you know?

Some minor glitches here and there, blurring on the outer reaches, but still a quite stunning technological achievement.

Absolutely stunning! It is amazing the detail you can get on everyone.
Whose camera was it? How much do those go for?

recognize anyone you know?

Its hard to know exactly where to look among the thousands of faces (or even hundreds, if we zoom in on a certain area).
Whom should we be looking for (I am guessing you)?

I have no idea whose camera did that, but you are right... stunning is a perfect word for the picture. As for cost... my guess is it is just slightly out of our price range.

I'm sorry, I did not mean to give the impression there was someone in particular to look for, rather, I was just commenting on the amazing detail in that if there was some you knew at whatever event that was, you would surely be able to recognize them without any trouble.

Amazing photo.
There is literally 100 times as many people in that one picture as there are in our entire town.
(At LEAST!) And there isn't another town within 100 miles of here!

How can you get that many people all in one spot at the same time.

With my luck I'd be somewhere in the middle... and have to pee.

Being originally from a small town too (in Minnesota), sounds about right.

Stanley Cup Game 7 outdoor screen will definitely draw a crowd, especially in Canada... (or Minnesota).

Find Waldo? lol

of course, governments wouldn't use this technology to spy on us would they? and they wouldn't save the images for lengthy periods of time to compliment the prism program? lucky, I was getting worried there for a moment.

 

[HalfAce]

Well.... perhaps not your government diddi...

(And we actually thought about inserting a Waldo in this photo yesterday.)
