A typical smartphone shoots at around 12 megapixels. The images in this gallery range from 1,000 to 2,000 megapixels — roughly a hundred times sharper than what your phone produces. Zoom in and inspect details no print can match: read a back-bar menu, count threads on a rug, see individual brushstrokes.
An HDR gigapixel sweep of the Red Rock Canyon escarpment west of Las Vegas — fiery sandstone walls under a daylight moon you can zoom into until you count the craters. Waldo is hiding somewhere in the cliffs in his red-and-white stripes; see if you can spot him before you get sidetracked by the lunar surface.
An HDR gigapixel view from high in the Spring Mountains above Las Vegas — alpine pine forest, hikers tucked in between the trunks, and one unmistakable red-and-white-striped shirt hiding somewhere in the frame. Zoom all the way in to count the pine needles, scan the trail, and see if you can spot Waldo before anyone else does.
