Interactive 360 Degree Panoramas
Interactive Panoramas (or VR Photography) is a relatively new media that creates a panoramic view that immerse the viewer ‘inside’ the image. This is far far more advanced than the kinds of panoramas you can make with your digital camera and stitching software. Using your mouse you can view from side to side or top to bottom and all points in between of some fantastic imagery taking by Interactive Panorama photographers from all over the world and collected and displayed by Hans Nyberg a commercial photographer in Denmark.
There are over 400 stunning interaftive images of every thing from the Oslo Opera House to Death Valley, from the Oscars to Carnival In Rio. A truly stunning collection in a format that’s as close as you can get to being there from your PC.
A Picture A Year For 31 Years
No doubt most net-warriors have seen at least one of the ‘picture a day’ for X number of years videos that have become increasingly popular. But to date we’ve yet to find an earlier adopter than Diego Goldberg, a professional photographer who lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina and who has been taking passport style photographs of his family in the exact same deadpan pose for over 30 years.
The family is very dedicated to the once a year shot which is taken every June 17th whether everyone is in town or not. And while 30 images aren’t enough frames to make a spiffy video, it stands as one of the most amazing and detailed record of a families visual history I’ve ever seen.
World’s Tallest Snowman
This ski town of about 2,400 residents already holds the record for tallest snowman, dedicated in 1999. Since then, they have been waiting for someone else to break the record. When no one rose to the challenge, the folks here decided they’d have to break the record themselves.
