Browse 70 gigapixels of panoramic Budapest in the world's largest photograph
Last year, we showed you an 18 gigapixel photo of Prague, followed by a 26 gigapixel photo of Paris, and a 45 gigapixel photo of Dubai. The world of gigapixel photography has a new winner - a whopping 70 gigapixel photo of Budapest. The photo is claimed to be the largest photo on earth, but of course, at this rate, the record will be broken by the end of summer.
Head on over to the photo site, and use the controls on the left to browse around and zoom in on any location. Under the photo are highlights of the city, which should save you the effort of trying to find things yourself. For the best effect, click the top button on the control bar to move the panorama to full screen mode.
(Thanks Nick!)

Hi,
As one of the former record holders, I am obligated to angrily denounce anyone who dares break my record. http://www.360cities.net/prague-18-gigapixels
Just kidding. Actually I wanted to point out what bothers me about some of these "world record photographs".

tl;dr - most of them aren't actually sharp when you zoom in because of incorrect shooting techniques and atmospheric conditions. And worse, many of them are ugly or boring (which photographs are allowed to be of course).
Congrats are in order at any rate, this is a lot of work, and this 70 gigapixel is a nice one.
