I think i remember what picture you're talking about. It was showing off some camera technique. maybe if you can remember the name of the technique it will help with googling?

I think it was NYC....they scanned the city little at a time with zoom shots and made it all into this really high res pic?

I recall a few being posted here in ATOT in the last year or so.

Here's one of Chicago.

I do recall another one of New York City (it wasn't a skyline), but you could see in the windows of building a mile or two away. Let me see if I can find it...

I'm guessing not, at least not for those first 3 images. They range in size from 700MB to 1.5GB in size. Even if the size weren't prohibitive, I'm sure they are copyrighted...

Uhh its a gigapixel image. A 12 mp raw photo is ~20 mb depending on compression and camera. So say 1 gp=1024 mp then 1024/12=86 (rounding up... its 85.333...). So its 86 times bigger, which means say 160+ mb. Then multiply however many gp the image is by 160 and you'll have your size (well a rough estimate).

Ah, yes... Wikipedia also has mentioned the New York City image that someone on here linked to a while ago. It's actually a 13GB image of Harlem...
