Gigapxl

Gigapxl uses custom-built cameras to capture large-format digital images at incredible resolutions.

Gigapxl's vision is as follows:

"Defining the upper limits of large-format photography, digital scanning and image processing, custom-built Gigapxl™ cameras capture images with unprecedented resolution.

It would take a video wall of 10,000 television screens or 600 prints from a professional digital SLR camera to capture as much information as that contained in a single Gigapxl™ exposure.

The Project's near-term goal is to compile a coast-to-coast Portrait of America; photographing her cities, parks and monuments in exquisite detail.

A longer term goal is to create for future generations a world-wide archive of vanishing cultural and archaeological sites."

The photos are amazing. Check out Gigapxl and its ongoing projects.
