Best. Inaugural. Photo. Ever...

Change has come to America... Or at least it came about 4 days ago. And New York photographer David Bergman was there on that (soon to be) historic day to capture this breath-taking panoramic shot from the press rafters... a 1,474 megapixel view of President Obama's inaugural address...

Absolutely amazing. This view itself is a compilation of 200 separate shots taken by a Canon G10, and combined image by image over a 6 hour period to create a single/massive 2 gigabyte tiff file. The end result almost gives a feeling of hovering over that crowd of 2 million listening to the president speak mrgreen. So far I've spotted former President Bush, and Secretary of State Clinton... but I'm having a little trouble spotting Waldo... (darn those red, white and blue stripes confused)... You can read more on David's amazing photography on his blog.
