- kakkaraja, on 10/11/2007, -9/+250OK now 2000 nerds will spend the rest of the night trying to find a naked chick in the photo :P
- oxdeltaxo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+138It's like where's waldo for geeks.
- Insomniac33, on 10/11/2007, -14/+112That's not true, most of us will probably look for 2-3 hours then fall asleep to Battlestar Gallactica DVDs. Buried for inaccuracy.
- Shando, on 10/11/2007, -4/+90A gigapixel would be 1024 megapixels, just sayin'
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+81Mom?
- chaosdude78, on 10/11/2007, -2/+75Obviously, your tubes have been clogged, give it a while for the pixles to squeeze through all that internet junk,
- ryan2632, on 10/11/2007, -0/+53well, if you need a lakefront condo in Chicago, apparently you just need to call 312-922-1310
- nreisan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+53i think he needs less megapixals and more megabits of bandwidth on his server
- CaptMonkey, on 10/11/2007, -3/+48If you click to see the technical details, it says the final image size is 7gb. I'm guessing that's why he's using the flash app instead of loading the image into your browser.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -25/+68Just give us the full size JPEG.
No need for the annoyingly hard to use flash app. - IbuddhaI, on 10/11/2007, -3/+41Digg Effect + 1 Gigapixel Picture = 404
- masgrada, on 10/11/2007, -7/+43There's not any; I already looked.
- swavalier711, on 10/11/2007, -0/+25now if the internet was like a dump truck, these things wouldn't happen.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+25Zoom in on the Shedd Oceanarium (the low, glass building on the lake shore on the far left). My vacation pictures aren't much clearer and I was inside the building. I could have saved a few hundred dollars and stayed at home.

He's a professional - he's not going to give you his work. He'll sell it to you. You sir, are insulting photographer's skills when you ask for free *****. - yomamaisfat, on 10/11/2007, -7/+28I found Waldo.

- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17If you zoom towards Wrigley you can see Zambrano slapping Barrett.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+21Think Pink!
- AkshayGenius, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15Ive got many mirrors at home, you buy them at ebay for $1, its not that epensive these days you know
- nemobushido, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14In the 2nd tallest building, zoom about 3/5 height of the building: there is a couple doing it against the glass, doggy style.
- 0ceanic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11im sorry, i am not impressed. it pales in comparison, to this...
!!! 13 GIGAPIXELS OF HARLEM !!!
http://www.harlem-13-gigapixels.com/
first thing i did was to start looking in windows. i found a chick getting dressed, someone sunbathing on their balcony, and some guy using a computer. way more fun. - OllyHagen, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13Its not that clear
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11the bottom of the E in the CHASE building sign is out..
- zmigliozzi, on 10/11/2007, -4/+12Since when did a Gig equal 1000Meg instead of 1024?
- swavalier711, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9lies.
*goes to check* - Kookami, on 10/11/2007, -5/+131024? That would be a gibibyte, good sir.
- KMye, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8I love the concept. But I think his Machu Picchu one is the only one that really begins to capitalize on the concept. The two cityscapes, to me, seem kind of weak subjects for this, at least from the perspective he chose to take. I think it would also make sense to stop the zoom one or two levels above what he does, as the last two levels are essentially pointless. But I'm just nitpicking; the concept's great, and his other photography (especially the non-HDR) is excellent.
- Shade00a00, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10Similar to the gigapxl project : http://gigapxl.org/gallery-SanDiegoNight.htm
- AudioDan, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8Who's got a mirror?
- Mike89, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Thanks, I was just about to post asking what that was. Looks cool!
- DiggMasterJ, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7On a houseboat you don't have in the middle of lake Michigan.
- darkism, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I'm thinking I need a giant-sized print of this taking up my entire wall. Then it will be like the floor-to-ceiling windows I don't have.
- nfxmedia, on 10/11/2007, -9/+14If you're interested, he used Zoomify.
http://www.zoomify.com/ - alman, on 10/11/2007, -4/+8Zoomify is now included free with Photoshop CS3
- docnetau, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7I'm in the progress of talking to a company regarding doing large-scale prints of these photos - starting with the Chicago shot. If you're interested, drop me an email at shp@doc.net.au and I'll let you know when they are available.
And yes, the web server has been struggling, but it seems to be OK at the moment... - Khamel83, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3from the perspective of this picture, the second tallest building is the aon center. i doubt people are having sex at night in an office building. if its actually the hancock building, then anythings game.
- Rfriaz, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6Luckily I saved the jpg file. lets me loadup it brb
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2you do it that way like the above poster or if you are a badass you do it this way
http://www.popsci.com/popsci/technology/generaltechnology/43f47ce253607010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd/2.html - eezzzz, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Eh, not having a functioning ***** link won't stop it from reaching the Top 10 in all topics...
And all is well... as long as those evil conspiracy nuts don't game Digg!! - zmigliozzi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2In perspective, but the John Hancock I think is really the 2nd tallest there, all i know is that's where Chris Farley died :(
- planckstudios, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Clearly Scott Howard can take a large photo. But other than the size of it, there's really nothing engaging nor provoking about this photograph. Maybe his others are better.
- dvsbastard, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6I would of been more impressed with a 1MP image that I could actually see! :(
- somewherein72, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3These images will truly comfort the extremely paranoid.
- mattprice, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2@EbilPhish (#7009815)
Or just check out http://www.harlem-13-gigapixels.com/ sans the porn. Still an awesome photo though. - thcobbs, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Anyone else find the secretary getting boned by the boss?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2"would OF" ???
Ugh... - egscott2004, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Anyone else see the ghost people and ghost cars in the Harlem picture?
