Image of Shanghai taken with ultra-high resolution

This is FASCINATING! Thanks, Joe. I've never been to Shanghai and these views are astounding. You're right...where is everybody? -Laura

Well, they're not sitting around at the cafes...in fact, I couldn't find a single spot where people are just sitting in outdoor eating places. Strange, because it's a nice day(s) and people are in short sleeves. Not along the river, not near the parks, and not in the streets.
Another thing : so many roofs and not one solar panel, as far as I can tell...
 
I'd love to see the lens used to take this photo!

The lens, I believe, is the easy part. What I think is special about this photo is the stitching technology - there are no blurs or ghosts of the kind that appear when you photograph scenes like this over time.

For example, take a look at the following high resolution image of Prague. The photographer also describes how he took the shot (600 mm. lens), so that might interest you. This is "only" 1 gigapixel, as opposed to the Shanghai photo, but you can see that there are "ghosts" where people were moving.
