111 Gigapixels

I do feel somewhat obligated to point out that "111 thousand million" isn't a real number.

Is anyone else making a mental note of how long it takes before someone finds somebody naked in this picture?

 

[AvsJoe]

Damn that's cool. Just a spectacular photo.

 

[SckizoBoy]

That is superfluously amazing.

Not only is it superfluous and amazing, but the level of amazement generated from this is extraneous.

-_- Do I smell troll?

Well, given where it is and how sunny it is, that's not the issue, it's the level of censorship, I think...

OT: ... Uh, damn... if I could get that as the background for a 360 Desktop, then I am so getting rid of my RocketDock. Wonder if they'll do one for London...

You do not. You smell (if I do say so myself) uncommonly superb wordplay. I mean, am I not the most clever poster on this side of the Mighty Mississip?

 

[F'Angus]

That is seriously AMAZING!. I mean it's crazy how far you can zoom in... I want a camera that can do that (but that is very unlikely)

You forgot 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751

And no... you are not. For how can amazement be extraneous?! =P

Only 80 Gpx I'm afraid, but nevertheless:

Oooo, thankee.

...

Weird, when fully zoomed out, it looks as though it were shot in motion... (... that sounded dumber than I thought...)

Actually, it is. It is the long scale form.

And yet, all I can think of it...

[HEADING=1]GREAT SCOTT![/HEADING]

111 GIGAPIXELS!!!

Actually it isn't. First of all, "thousand million" is mathematically incorrect and second if you're going to express Gigapixels in terms of pixels, you're going to need a much bigger number, presumably something that can only be expressed as a power of 10.

It is a legitimate way to say 1 billion.

Take that back! 111 thousand million is a wonderful number with a great personality!

[sub]Srsly, why do you say such nasty things about it?[/sub]

This picture was taken at 5:35. I found this out by reading one of the clocks in the picture
(it was kinda blurry once you zoomed in that close though)

Ok maybe, but "thousand million" sounds retarded or like something a little kid would say when making up some really big number.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

That's amazing, you can zoom into the cars in the distance and see their license plates. The vast majority of them are blurred out, but they missed a couple.

Well I think the answer to that is pretty clear.

The level of detail in a 111 gigapixel photo.

Now don't get me wrong. The level of detail isn't extraneous. It's the amount of "Wow. That's goddam awesome" that's above what's necessary.
