Ultra-high-resolution pics?

[Howard]

I'm not looking for those gigapixel outer space images, but I would like stuff > 3000x2000, for example. Nature, buildings, people, it's all good. Anybody know any links?

Max res is 2560x1600.

wouldnt it be a major bandwidth killer for whoever puts them up?

The thumbnail results from searching here will link to the hi-res versions (not all 3000x2000 but i've seen a few).

You should see the HiRISE pictures from the Mars Reconaissance Orbiter. One recent image:
27161 x 53560
719.1MB
Most are only grayscale though.

I think they're hosted on servers operated by The University of Arizona. I think they hope that most people just download the browse-images, or else use their image viewer page, which only downloads certain portions of the image, selected by the user on a smaller zoomed-out version.

Huh....2592 x 1600 is 5MP (my camera's max resolution). Images are easily 2-3 MB in Jpeg!

Would be cool to find some.....
