Who are these people? They were all in attendance as Barack Obama became our nation’s 44th president. What’s impressive though is the photograph that this little picture came from.
The image above is a SERIOUSLY reduced image of what is originally a 1,474 MP image that was taken on inauguration day. See the little red box I’ve put in there on the far right? That’s the approximate location of the original image above zoomed in to view.
You can see this photo in all it’s detail and glory at the Gigapan.org website.

Amazing! Thanks for the picture
3rd row back from the band 6th person down….whats wrong with that doods head???
Good eye! I zoomed in to see what you were referring to.
The pic appears to be a composite. I do not see the match. Where is the guy with the sunglasses> Wh person in the red hood? There are plenty more mistakes.
This is a composite,theres floating heads and hats with no bodies to the left side of the flag,different focus lines etc.
I’ve found a fault. It’s in the lower left corner, right on the far left spotlight. You’ll notice a ‘hole’ in the right of it, and some (maybe 3) people seem to be fused together.
Holy cow there’s alot of faults in this picture. I can’t even begin to name them all.
A great picture of a great moment in history.
PHOTOSHOPED!!!!!
The legs with no body or head walking up the path on the right hand side. (Next path to the left of the one with the military guys.)
The big question is WHY would they fake or Photoshop this picture. Is this blowup a Government issued pic or just someone trying to inflate the event.
There were so many people there they didn’t have to resort to pic-collage.
You guys are so daft! Did you even look at the rest of the website? Of course it’s a composite image! They sell devices to aid in composite photography. For something really cool try looking at the rooftops for counter-snipers, bet you didn’t even notice them. Urah!!!! Semper-Fi!!!
