The highest definition picture ever taken of Cape Town

Virtual Africa, a South African company specialised in virtual tours, just took what is believed to be the highest definition picture ever taken of Cape Town.
Watch the video for the "making of..." and click here for the pic!


Some details as to the size of the pic:
  • It was created by stitching 1850,fully zoomed (x 20 optical zoom), 10 MegaPixel images together.
  • The time it took from the first shot (top left) and last shot (lower right) being taken, was about 3 hours.
  • It’s 205 000 pixels wide.
  • That equates to a printout of about 90 m x 15 m!
  • The end result was a 25 GigaBytes RAW file
