Best Views of the Inauguration

CNN’s THE MOMENT – stitched with Microsoft’s Photosynth, an impressive tool for stitching together dozens of photos to allow a place or event to be viewed from multiple angles.

The only hard part is it really takes 75 photos or more to get the optimal experience. That’s a lot of work for one photographer. But, with big events, one can also rely on crowdsourcing. Which is what CNN has done with the inaugural, asking viewers to send in their photos of Barack Obama’s swearing in.

1,474 Megapixel Inauguration Panorama Shot – this is my favorite. A really powerful CANON G10 Bridge Cam, taking a panorama of the inauguration. Try to zoom and and read the musicians sheet music, or check out Yo Yo Mo taking pictures on his iPhone.
