National Geographic (or NatGeo if you watch there awesome channel) has a new project on their website called Infinite Photograph.
Dive into this photo-mosaic portrait of the Earth to see it through the eyes of users like you. It’s made up of hundreds of photos of the natural world, each submitted by users to My Shot.
Its a interactive image viewer that uses hundreds of images to make a tile mosaic of another image. From there you can click on a quadrant and zoom in to see the images that made up the larger image. Very much worth checking out.
Some people are just born dripping with creative talent. Vancouver-based videogame artist Eric Testroete took a 21 day trip to Japan with his girlfriend and just sorta popped out this masterpiece upon returning home, just sorta offhandedly pulled it out of his ass. The photos were taken on a Pentax k20d, post-processed to give them that excellent saturated look, and stitched together in Sony Vegas. Tuneage by LCD Soundsystem – “All My Friends”, which I think really adds some nice emotions to the already beautiful photography. Click through to the Vimeo page for a version with more pixels. If this doesn’t make you want to visit Japan, then you probably live there already.
