Panoramic Photo of London








A newly published 360-degree image of London takes the crown as the largest, highest-resolution  panoramic photo in the world. The image of London has a total resolution of 80 gigapixels, or 80 billion pixels. If printed at normal photographic resolution, would be 115 feet long and 56 feet high. From this vantage point - 36 stories up in the air - an astonishing number of landmarks, houses, skyscrapers, shops, offices, and streets are visible.

Previous attempts at world record gigapixels include a 26-gigapixel image of Paris, a 70-gigapixel image of Budapest, a 26-gigapixel image of Dresden, and Martin's previous record holder from 2009, an 18-gigapixel spherical image of Prague.
