  • Wulffy, on 01/02/2009, -3/+43After minutes of checking this out I am back. Great find! Awesome city. Awesome picture.
    Don't forget to hit F11 for Fullscreen!
  • AmericanGunner, on 01/03/2009, -3/+41This panorama makes me hungary.
  • hbyrne, on 01/02/2009, -3/+32I've stood on that same hill and taken multiple shots to stitch together as a panorama, and recognize what an awesome job the photographer did here. Great submit!
  • inactive, on 01/03/2009, -1/+20Please, this is not the place to post the intimate details of your sex life.
  • jotate, on 01/03/2009, -1/+18Am I the only one that thinks the controls for moving that thing around are backwards?

    Maybe I'm just addicted to the ominous power of other applications that give me the ability to move the environment around me rather than just my own point of view. Damn you, Adobe.
  • WhoDoneIt, on 01/03/2009, -0/+14Look at all those Hungary people.
  • AmyVernon, on 01/02/2009, -2/+15One of the few times "spectacular" has been used in a headline and it's been totally accurate.
  • bobhiggins, on 01/02/2009, -5/+15Beautiful and a technical tour de force
  • allocate, on 01/02/2009, -4/+13Sorry, I don't look at panoramas unless they have stupid black spots at the top and/or bottom. Kidding aside, that is pretty spectacular.
  • Anim8tor, on 01/02/2009, -3/+11Stunning. Wow.

  • homescrubb, on 01/03/2009, -0/+3thank you for answering my initial question
  • bakagaigin, on 01/03/2009, -1/+3Yeah, first thing I do in FPS games is invert the controls.
  • inactive, on 01/03/2009, -0/+2This is great work. He even retouched out the shadow on the brick wall below him.

  • Snap65, on 01/03/2009, -0/+2http://panoramas.dk/

  • chewbie, on 01/03/2009, -0/+2I live in budapest and I must say that although it looks good, It doesn't look as good as in the pic. Especially in the summer
  • bakagaigin, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1Have you seen the movie Amelie? There's a great scene that asks that very question.
  • louley, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1Agreed. Quicktime seems like crap compared to this.
  • thegrantman, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1Sarkisyan's office is worth a visit.
  • marioara, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1just awesome
  • closer9, on 01/03/2009, -1/+2It made my browser auto-resize.... 1998'd.
  • Cowicide, on 01/04/2009, -0/+1Great VR, just wish the sound looped instead of ending and having to pop out of fullscreen to restart the sound. Yeah, I agree with the others, it's best to view this while zoomed all the way in.
  • nonymous666, on 01/04/2009, -0/+1Budapest is sort of the headquarters for Eastern European porn. The San Fernando Valley of Eastern Europe if you will.
  • whatever2011, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1I hope this is what videogames will look like in the future......
  • inactive, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1Yeah, I could tell it wasn't a QTVR. I wish it was, though, flash makes bitmap images look jagged when the move around.
  • areyouserious, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1Very cool......But now i have "Budapest by Blimp" by Thomas Dolby going through my head.
  • inactive, on 01/04/2009, -0/+1Meh.
