None of the images are mine but the site has some really interesting photos.

OK, now that's cool. :wings: How do they generate that level of detail? I have seen and appreciated gigapixel images before. I would just like to better understand how they are made. :Wow1:

I believe they shot hundreds of photos at the extreme telephoto setting and stitched it together.
