3 very beautiful words: Extreme Resolution Photography.
1 truly remarkable online photography project: www.XRez.com
Using a Google Maps interface you can pan, zoom, and go bonkers crazy over the level of detail captured in a selection of expansive vistas. Plus, XRez founding fathers Eric Hanson and Greg Downing share their techniques and process so we can say that we learnt something while drooling over the insanely massive photographs in their unprecedented gigapixel detail. It really is something to behold. According to Hanson, at the last showing of one of their 18' long, 75,000 pixel prints, people were exploring single photographs for up to 20 minutes at a time.

But it's not all for fun and games (although trying to find the white SUV in the snow fields of the Sierra Madres was quite enjoyable), the site also demonstrates how the images can be integrated into the world of 3D animation. Cinematic camera movement can be created, and unique hybrid 2D/3D locations can be built using 3D software. Nice, very nice.
