Robert Capa’s ‘Falling Soldier’ Photo Was Turned Into This Monstrosity

One of legendary photographer Robert Capa's most famous photos is The Falling Soldier, a 1936 picture from the Spanish Civil War that's said to show a soldier at the moment he's shot.

Well, someone saw fit to turn the iconic photograph into a giant and bizarre 25-foot-tall (7.5m) sculpture that's now sitting in the middle of Budapest, Hungary, where Capa was born.

70-Gigapixel Panorama of Budapest Takes Over as World’s Largest Photo

Just a couple months after we reported that a 45-gigapixel photo of Dubai had become the world's largest, a new panorama has arrived to steal the crown. 70 Billion Pixels Budapest is a 70-gigapixel panorama of Budapest created using a setup of two 25-megapixel Sony A900 cameras fitted with 400mm Minolta lenses and 1.4X teleconverters. Four days of shooting resulted in 20,000 images, and an additional two days of post-processing produced a single 200 GB file. If printed, the size of the photo would be about two apartment blocks long and ten stories tall.
