You don’t know jack. Or, rather, you don’t know Scott Howard, who’s posted a stunning nighttime shot of Sydney Harbor that weighs in at a whopping 720 megapixels. (That’s 40,000 x 18,000 pixels for those scoring at home.) No, he wasn’t using some unreleased über-SLR. He actually stitched together 169 component photos from a Canon 10D digital camera. But the cool thing is that on his site, you can zoom into the photo—more, more, more, until you’re actually seeing individual people in the windows of the office buildings across the harbor!"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/fri.400.jpg" /><br /><br />We have seen post about other photos like this on DMT before, but the stitching job on this one seems particularly great.

Not for download, but you can buy it.

It's pretty cool that you can zoom in so much you can see what's going on in each office window. 8O :D
