I didn't see any of the inauguration, but I made the mistake of tuning into one of the broadcast events that night on television (hoping to see Springsteen). Instead, it looked like one of those newer, lame awards shows that are popping up all over the place (you know, like the Doritos Cool Awards or what have you). I'm relatively pro-Obama, and I know it didn't have much to do with the inauguration proper, but I found it a bit embarrassing.

Look at this reported 1.474 gigapixel photo is of the inauguration. An incredibly detailed panoramic picture of the inauguration - click the photo to zoom and pan.
No sure if this is one photo or contains merged images.






Update 10:58
Looks like the photo is made up of 220 images.

WASHINGTON, DC (January 24, 2009) – A 1.47 gigapixel panoramic view of President Barack Obama's inauguration address that's 194 degrees wide and 80 degrees tall, made up of 220 images by photographer David Bergman, is now posted on Gigapan.

Bergman shot it with a Canon G10 and a Gigapan imager clamped to a front rail on the north media platform. He says it took the Gigapan software more than six and a half hours to stitch the scene together on a MacBook Pro and the final TIF file was almost 2GB in size.

Using the viewer a reader can zoom in and pan around the photograph, and double click to get even closer.

Photographers on the south stand facing Bergman's camera and those on the center stand will be able to clearly see themselves at work during the President's speech. The photographer challenges viewers to find within the picture musician Yo-Yo Ma, who is in the process of taking a picture using his iPhone.
