The detail is incredible. You could pick out individual faces two blocks away. I can see bird splat on the signal light at Homer St.

This is a panorama using a great number of individual telephoto panels stitched together, both horizontally and vertically. This produces a huge file with the resolution of the original telephoto shots across the whole image.

I think that was done with just any camera. It is a composite, you can see that if you zoom into the picture, some of the parts did not fit together right (like missing body parts etc.).

This type of extreme resolution (notice how far you can zoom in and the detail) and accuracy is not attainable without a very,very long telephoto lens, high resolution, and a computer controlled panographic head/camera actuator.
This shot was done with hundreds of individually taken panels (probably about 300 as most likely it is a JPEG) using an automatic device such as a GigaPan that will calculate how many degrees to rotate/elevate between shots in order to produce a hi resolution panorama by controlling the overlap (vertically and horizontally) and actuating the camera shutter automatically. With an estimated 300 shots and about 15-18 shots/minute with a GigaPan Pro, for example, it probably took twenty minutes to complete. People can move during this process and still be clear as only those that were at a stitch edge when two shots were overlapped might appear blurry or have a distorted shape. The stitching program will create a seam that zigzags between the individual panels as necessary to attain the best fit, sort of like a jigsaw pattern. It can only do so much if elements move within the stitch zone.
You can go the the GigaPan site to see numerous examples of extreme panoramas using the GigaPan automatic panorama controller.
