Highest resolution photo ever taken of Machu Picchu
In September, photographer Jeff Cremer used a Canon 7D and a 400mm lens to take 1,920 individual pictures of Machu Picchu.
The photos took only 1 hour and 44 minutes to record, with the help of a small robotic camera and advanced computer software. The planning and preparation leading up to the photo shoot took months.
The individual photos were later stitched together digitally with a MacPro Hexacore 2.67Ghz, 32GB Ram and OCZ 960GB RevoDrive.
With a resolution of 297,500 x 87,500 pixel (15.9 gigapixels) the picture is the highest resolution photo of Machu Picchu ever taken.

The photo shoot was documented by Destin Sandlin, creator of YouTube’s educational Smarter Every Day channel, and sound engineer Gordon McGladdery:
