I do mosaics and such on my site.  I don’t get too many requests for them, as you need A LOT of digital images all vertical or horizontal for a good mosaic.  I mean a lot of them.  Here is the latest one I did, it’s over 3000 images, but it’s also 30″ x 20″ @ 240 dpi.

Here is the “thumbnail” of the poster.

And here is a small crop — only 33% of it’s size — section of the image.

Researches at Stanford are continuing their work on an open source camera.  The camera would be an SLR built from available off the shelf parts and fully programmable.  Including refocusing of the image after the image has been taken.   It probably won’t beat a Canon 1D the first time out, but it might be a mighty cool toy to play with.
