The Coolest Photomerge Ever

So you returning Seattle Swift readers have probably already seen some of my photomerge photos. Well the one below is the ultimate photomerge.

David Bergman merged 220 images of President Obama's January 20, 2009, inaugural address, creating a 1,474 megapixel image. I've included a screen shot below - but it's worth viewing in full at http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=15374.

You can zoom in to incredible detail. A coworker and I even found Denzel Washington standing among the crowd (he's in the front section standing in an aisle in a blue cap). You can practically read the sheet music of the musicians. Onlookers stand in the windows of the Rayburn building across the Capital. And the expression on Bush's face is priceless.

What an incredible photo (merge) to capture the event. And let me know if you find Oprah somewhere in the crowd!
