I'm sure the 600 or so photos it took of that plain blue sky were well worth it. Surely they could have found something more worthy of such a detailed photo. So much of it is dead space or sky.

There is very distracting banding in the sky.

Finally, a photographic record that's *not* made by the porn industry.

I totally agree with you David, I think that the Porn industry cannot Break Such Record even If they tried so hard.

For sure there are more interesting objects in Dresden like the Frauenkirche or the Semperoper. This picture is, excuse me, pretty boring.

Hello Guy's,
Surely they could have found something more worthy of such a detailed photo. So much of it is dead space or sky.

Surely this is the same thing as Google Earth? Looks like stitched together photographs to me, in which case I am sure Google Earth would trump this.

what a complete waste of time. At least they could have gone somewhere interesting and taken a nice picture. The drab skyline of Dresden makes this picture a complete bore!

If there was ever a world record there is always someone who is destined to top it.

What a negative lot of comments.
Of course, I have to agree that the subject matter is not inspiring, but is that really what this is all about. These guys have acheived a remarkable image, with a stunning amount of detail. It was an experiment, wasn't it? In my opinion it was a huge success. Congratulations.

Certainly, this panorama has not been meant as a work of art but as a technical exercise. In that capacity, it is an undeniable achievement.

Gigapixel images even larger than this one are very useful in pathology. The combination of a scanner, a microscope and intelligent tiling software similar to google maps leeds to incredible images. You can check some of them at: http://dotslide.olympus-sis.com/

I think that there are many legitimate uses for images even greater than this. Both for personal and for professional photography, especially in the fields of science and health.
