If you think you can disappear in a crowd, think again. Check out the resolution and magnification in this image, AMAZING!

It makes you rethink the Boston Marathon Bomber claims about using surveillance film. Use the zoom/pan feature, pretty scary stuff!

Fortunately, this technology is not in common use...yet.

They have a similar photo but it's of downtown Japan. You can rotate around and zoom in almost everywhere, but some sensitive areas are intentionally blurred out.

Wow, I could read the name on a street sign 3 blocks up the street! That's pretty amazing. And scary.

I think he means the NSA tech watching him through his iPhone can see him well. Probably me too, I'm on that stupid phone all the time, with that little lens looking right at me. Don't know WTF they'd want to watch me for though, I'm boring.

It is made up of 216 photos (12 across by 18 down) stitched together, taken over a 15-minute span
Who knows if the Boston bombers were even in the crowd for 15 minutes none the less whats the likelihood they even would have been in one of the 216 photos if they were there when it was taking pictures. Pretty low if you ask me.

As has been pointed out, it's 216 separate photos stitched together. Technology advances so I'm sure they'll be able to do something like this in a single exposure eventually but it's not something to worry about now. In the meantime, you can do something similar with a DSLR and the Gigapan tripod attachment and software to automate taking huge panorama pictures -- it's not cheap and it takes time and resources. The EPIC 100 is nearly $500 and the EPIC Pro is almost $1000.

There are a lot of jihadi-looking mo-fos in that picture. Freaks me out.

Thats racist and profiling. If you ask me the old ladies in the walkers present the biggest threat. Just ask the TSA [gihad]

"Stitching" was fairly popular with certain segments of the interior photography market about 15 years ago (to allow for web viewers to pan around and see what a home/condo/store looked like). It seems to have fallen out of favor lately for commercial purposes but these large exterior stitches remain popular (think back to the Yosemite and Grand Canyon shots that were floating around the web two years ago).

If planning on doing something illegal and your worried about being recognized, it'd probably be best to buy a Great Kazoo mask from the Halloween store to wear during said behavior.

At least one Vendetta guy that I've seen.

How do you capture the close ups like that?
