I happened upon a website with the story and image (you can zoom and pan) of the largest photo thus far (26 gigapixel) -- take a look http://www.dresden-26-gigapixels.com/dresden26GP

Technical characteristics: The picture was made with the Canon 5D mark II and a 400mm-lens. It consists of 1,665 full format pictures with 21.4 megapixel, which was recorded by a photo-robot in 172 minutes. The converting of 102 GB raw data by a computer with a main memory cache of 48 GB and 16 processors took 94 hours. With a resolution of 297,500 x 87,500 pixel (26 gigapixel) the picture is the largest in the world. (stand December 2009)"
