Wow, good shot!

I think this may be fake.

Yeah I was thinking that, there's no way it'd stand on that fork shape on the bottom.

Someone just typed in 'amazing photo' in google images and just took them from there

Why did they not build the highway parallel with the other roads? Or vice-versa?

That reminds me of a shot they had at the museum's IMAX theater during a movie about the drought in the Colorado river, and look to the right, BEATLES LOVE FTW.

That picture of Taipei 101 is pretty cool! Like how many shots were stitched together to create that huge image above?

I can't tell because it is so well done.

Sorry but I am going to have to trump your Taipei 101 with this building called Aqua, currently under construction in Chicago.

While it doesn't say how many shots there were, apparently the picture Uno posted is only 1/4 of the original.

Based off of that, one could then assume (Gasp!) that it would take about twenty 10 megapixel images.

Found this on Wikipedia:

A 360-degree spherical panorama of a beach in Marigot, Saint Martin, from 9 images which uses stereographic projection to create a globe. This is called the "little planet" effect, when the area close to the point opposite to the center of projection becomes significantly enlarged. A detailed explantion of how it is done can be found here.

A 360-degree spherical

I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around that.

This isn't exactly cool, but it is certainly amazing... (ly stupid!!!!!)

A photographer jumps from one rocky outcrop to another while photographing the Grand Canyon. Only thing is, there's a half-mile drop, he's holding his camera equipment in one arm while doing it, and he's had a six-pack of beer...

 

[Danny]

The photos are a bit deceptive, there was at least some rock beneath him a few feet out of shot.

 

[TB]

You want a big picture? I'll give you a big picture.

 

[Beerz]

Now that's awesome. What scale is that?


The guy leaping on Grand Canyon is mostly believed to be false. Still, it's well made and makes you think.

 

[MP]

Now that's awesome. What scale is that?

1:1. Real life size.

 

[Beerz]

Really?

It looks smaller when scrolling through the image. But the eye is huge.
