Gigapxl Project
This is pretty awesome. They've built a camera that takes digital images containing a gig of pixels. That, as I understand, is a whole hell of a lot. Because of this whole hell of a lot of pixels they can zoom in on stuff in the photo for further investigation.Many of the photos are just way, super-cool and deserve a look. Click an image and then scroll down the page to see the zooms and explanations of the images.
Here's one of my favorites, a shot of Half Dome in Yosemite, complete with two climbers! Just as the caption states, the original photo was taken from 2.5 miles away, final zoom is .01% of the original size.
