Gigapixel images are multiple images shot in a single scene, sometimes with a mosaic or composite of hundreds of photos, with the resulting stitched image exceeding 1 GB in size (1,000 MB). Images this size, if you were to try and print them, can easily exceed 20 ft x 8 ft (6m x  2.5m).  These large images are also impracticable to download and/or display on the internet. With the use of special internet plug-ins viewing these gigapixel images is now possible. These plugin’s allow the viewer to interact with the image by panning left and right and zooming in and out with portions of an scene. One can truly appreciate the amount of detail that goes into a scene by simply zooming in.

Below are some gigapixel images I have been compiling during local and distant excursions.  Because this is now an extension to my my photography I will be continually adding more gigapixel images so check back from time to time.

Enjoy
