fuck me that's insane

Takes ages to do one of those, can you guys spot the two people but not the people at the car park or on the bike? also look at one of the horses it looks dead

takes ages? its one photo from a special camera

weird that the people on the sand seem to be waving to the camera

Nope not one shot, it works on a special stand and device with a expensive dslr taking shots in a grid like pattern the camera takes one shot of place on the grid with the highest res then moves onto the next box in the grid until it covers the whole area, it then it sort of glues the areas together to create one large high res picture.
These take under a day to several days to do, those people your see are not all there on the same day, its best to do images like that in a still landscape and not with alot of moving objects or you get like people without legs or body parts that double in the image.

A good example is this one

zoom in on the cars at the left of the image and you will see how they are missing parts

there are gigapixel cameras tho, pretty sure theres one around somewhere of obama's first speech as president

There are camera's that can take gigapixel shots but only used for government or space

The Obama image was taken by this guy

"I made a panoramic image showing the nearly two million people who watched President Obama’s inaugural address. To do so, I clamped a Gigapan Imager to the railing on the north media platform about six feet from my photo position. The Gigapan is a robotic camera mount that allows me to take multiple images and stitch them together, creating a massive image file."

There are also some cameras that take panoramic images if you sweep the camera horizontally or vertically.

Now THAT is Where's Wally for the 21st Century.

All this time and set up and trying to capture the moment in time like a frozen memory or historical moment...

BUT a simple porn movie will always beat this shit. Just one goat ...
