World's largest photo
IRVINE, Calif. -- This snapshot surely won't fit in your wallet.
Six photographers from the nonprofit Legacy Project have taken what they said is the world's largest photograph -- and they did it with the biggest camera.
The 28-by-108-foot black-and-white image shows the decommissioned El Toro Marine Corps base in Southern California.
The photo was created using the centuries-old principle of "camera obscura" after a gumball-size hole was opened in the hangar's wall, allowing a tiny beam of light to enter.The photogs turned a hangar into a giant camera to take the 35-minute-long exposure.
It took about 60 volunteers to develop the picture. The Guinness Book of World Records has created two new categories for the project -- world's largest camera and world's largest photograph.
It will take about three months to certify the records.
