The largest photo ever made of New York City. This image was shot with a Canon 5Dsr with a 135mm lens. It is a 360 degree, gigapixel image of Manhattan, New York City, and the surrounding landscape. Shot from the top of the Empire State Building in October 2015.
The camera captures so much data, that you can read street signs from the top of the building just by digitally zooming!
Yes, that is a more accurate explanation of how they get such a large image.
