If you have a bad hair day at the Olympic Opening Ceremonies today, watch out.
Getty Images, a global photography agency, will be documenting the entire stadium tomorrow in one enormous 20-gigapixel image that will then be uploaded to the Getty Images UK site overnight.
The image will be created using two Nikon D800s, one mounted on a robotic camera mount, and any of the expected 70,000 attendees will be able to zoom in and tag themselves (we assume on Facebook but Getty didn’t specify).
This isn’t the first time something like this has been done. We saw something similar at the FA Cup Final 2011(soccer), but Getty says this event will be different because it normally takes days to get such a huge file online and theirs should be up within hours thanks to a partnership with Fujitsu, a Japanese information and communication technology company.
I don't know about you and your family, but the Olympic games always brings my family closer together. My family and I have followed the Olympic games together since 1989. My favorite part of the Olympic games is that it brings all the nations of the world closer together.
If only the spirit of the games would stay with all of us, after the games are over, what a different world this would be.
Enjoy the games everyone!
