To be able to zoom all the way in from that landscape to the driver and details of the interior, without pixilation or grain... Nice.
Pondering what they must have used to capture that, assuming it's photography and not a CG rendered image or a composite. Here's some marketing language for the Alexa 65, the digital cinema camera that was used for "The Revenant" -- it's similar to shooting 70mm film.

Sporting the A3X CMOS sensor made up of three Alexa sensors seamlessly stitched together, the active imaging area measure 54.12mm x 25.59mm... with a max recordable resolution of 6560 x 3102 pixels.
By my calculation, that's about 20.3 million pixels. To get to 50 billion, you'd need about 2500x this resolution. doesn't come close to the resolution in this image. I have heard of sensors that big -- the new Lytro Cinema prototype has a sensor the size of a cafeteria tray. Then, they probably also used a tracking system locked on the car, so they get some blur in the background but the car is super-sharp.
The lighting is way too perfect. Seems like a series of photos stitched together, so you could get to a collective 53 billion pixels by adding them all up.
It's a 10 year old car that sold for approx. $210-230K new and now they go for between $45-52K. It's a great buy and investment at that price point and with basic care and maintenance it will last a lifetime.
Funny story - Years ago, I worked with a guy who would bring a vintage Rolls-Royce to the job. We were all amazed because he just worked in the warehouse, making minimum wage.
Finally, I broke down and asked him - "how in the hell can you afford a car like that ?" He tells me that he was house sitting for a very wealthy man who was out of the country.
So this fool, would just help himself to the Rolls, once-in-a-while !
I'm guessing because the car is moving.

Because the focus point is on the car?

What do you do, to keep you busy, philanthropy ?

Do you do your own maintenance on the Bentley ?
