By now, everyone has probably seen the 1474 megapixel digital picture taken during President Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony. This jaw dropping super high resolution image was taken with the aid of a camera accessory known as the Gigapan Epic Imager.
What’s cool is this digital camera technology has now been made commercially available.
The Gigapan Epic Imager allows you to take detailed panoramic pictures using almost any point and shoot digital camera. The quality of the panorama is so amazing that the professional photographer will be pleased, yet the product is simple enough to use that even the beginner photographer will not feel overwhelmed.
The Gigapan Epic is a small robotic arm to which you attach your digital camera. Once setup, the Gigapan automates the picture taking process resulting in hundreds or thousands of digital pictures. These can then be stitched together to make a panorama picture using the GigaPan Stitcher software. The subsequent panorama can then be uploaded to the Gigapan website to share with the global online community if you so choose.
