All I can say is... wow. This is something that takes time to piece together, but once loaded and "stiched" together, the image is pretty damn cool. It's an image of part of Harlem.

Maynard used an auto-panning rig which rotated his Nikon D2X camera and Nikkor 300mm lens a few degrees per shot. In all it took 2 hours and 10 minutes to painstakingly shoot all the photos. You can see the final panorama on Maynard’s site here.

Taking the pictures is just part – maybe a minor part – of the process. Stitching together the 2045 pictures was also a gargantuan task, according to Maynard. The aggregate data for the photos spanned 21.49 gigabytes of compressed RAW files. The photos were loaded into a 2.6 Ghz Intel quad-core machine running Linux and processed with Kolor’s AutoPano software. Maynard told us that it took 45 hours of number crunching to complete the picture.

Try the "Switch to HD View" using Internet Explorer, now that is pretty cool ^^

Even the boring one I live in. I think a pic of the moon or stars would have been much better.
