An amazing inaugural photo
The link goes to a photo image that is, in my opinion, an exceptional feat of technology. The entire photo is 1,474 Megapixels, with a size of nearly 2 Gigabytes. You can view the entire area - or, you can zoom in on an individual face. You can't quite read the music in front of individual band members.
The image at the link is relatively small, so it loads quickly. You can then pan to areas of interest and zoom in as close as you wish.
I placed the post in General Discussion because the key point is the photography.

Thanks NMAP
Amazing what you can do these days with digital toys..
I noticed Michelle must have been freezing. She is the only lady on the dais
without a heavy coat. Mrs B, on th other hand has a lap blanket..
Additionally it looks like the SCJ and a bunch of the other dignitaries, are sleeping???
Love it...

Wow! Amazing technology... I love looking at things like that. I zoomed all over that photograph.
Thanks for posting that. Very interesting.

Amazing photo, but I have a question. Does anyone else see a double image of the head of the man with the blue tie seated to the back left of Jimmy Carter? Is it my computer, or did he move his head that quickly while the photo was snapped?

That is really cool.
I think GHWB (Bush #41) has the best headgear on ever. You can tell he and Barbara are totally without the need to preen. They were cold and dangit - they wore appropriate gear. I admire practicality.

nmap,
Great!
There are 2.5 heads on two torsos next to Barbara Bush.
Was Hilary playing with her cell phone, or flipping POTUS after Ford the bird?

What I find interesting is the power of magnification. You can zoom in on the building across the mall and see the four guys very clearly on the right hand corner of the building. If this is civilian technology …..check out the roof lines.

I noticed that guy. . . Might be a really bad toupe' though. Did you see the 'cyclops' near the Generals? It must have been motion . . . "OK EVERYONE! on three. . . one . . .two . . . three." CLICK.

Dozer,
About the third tier up, over the right shoulder of BHO, Newt Gingrich can be seen staring dead on at the camera. Perhaps he was one of the few that really knew what was going on that day.

I was looking forward to seeing the photo, but the ISP has suspended the account.

Anyone see the guy picking his nose ???
He's in the 10,145th row, about 356th from the left.
And those damn Texans, with their bloody flag. 
.....and I'm not quite sure, but I think I can see someone getting mugged....it is D.C. after all.
