Check this picture out of the Inauguration.
It is a Panaramic view with zoom and pan features.

It is incredible how much you can zoom in.

If you look at the home page, it appears they are selling special
panaromic hardware photo equipment.

Doctored photo?

I did notice at least one flaw in the pic. Was zoomed in close to see the individual faces and one row back from the Clinton's and Bush's Sr. , a few people to the right of the Bush's next to a black guy is a guy that has the top part of his head cut off and another on it but only lined up half way.
A little bit farther down the row is a white man with a black woman's head and a floating hat right next to that head. Kind of makes me wonder if the photo has been altered.

Multiple photos

I am thinking now what they are selling is a robotic camera that takes multiple pictures and software that "stitches" them together. I saw a woman that was facing one direction half of her picture and the other half of her is facing a different direction. Still neat. I just thought at first it was supposed to be a camera that took all of that in in one shot.

Bibleman, it is where the pics were put together. It is a complete circle view and of course multiple shots had to be taken to do this. If you scan the top row you'll find another such instance and it explains it all.

You can tell that the "flaws" are where people moved in the milliseconds between the pictures were taken. If you find Aretha Franklin, you can see her face, because the guy in front of her moved between the two shots.
