Jeffery Martins has created the largest photo in the world. The image is a 360 degree panoramic view of London measuring a full 80 gigapixels, or 80 billion pixels! You can literally zoom into the distance and pick out individual figures.

Martins, the founder of 360 Cities shot the image over three days, taking thousands of photos and stitching them into an intensely detailed whole. Actually, the image is so information rich, it is somewhat hard to navigate. To encourage people to explore the image, 360 Cities will launch treasure hunts for viewers to find and describe items or places in the photo. Keep up on the competition or explore more panoramas at 360Cities.net.
