The worlds largest photo , taken upon a hill top in Budapest is viewable in all it’s glory here. Not only is the picture a stunner and unbelievably clear even at massive levels of zoom but it show cases what we consider to be some very impressive technology! For the photo enthusiasts out there, according to Engadget, the image was created using two 25-megapixel Sony A900 cameras fitted with 400mm Minolta lenses and 1.4X teleconverters and a robotic camera mount.

Not only is the camera tech impressive but the way the photo is viewable (and pan-able, and zoom-able!) in a streaming like manner on the site must have involved some several man hours (and some rather clever men!).

While the site is in Hungarian you don’t need to read the page to enjoy the epic image, and bear in mind the image is around 200GB and as such may take a while to load, though nowhere near as long as we’d expect! We believe it’s well worth the wait.
