Giant Photo of Boston.

Posted by Alex in Travel & Places on December 19, 2006 at 3:19 pm


Neatorama reader Liberal Avenger (Hi LA!) suggested this giant photo of Boston:

The URL points to a 90000 x 40000 pixel image of Boston on a crystal clear day.
The image consists of 612 separate images taken from the Back Bay’s Prudential Tower Skywalk using a digital SLR with a 300mm lens. The 612 images were in turn stitched together digitally.

One can pan and zoom about the image using the Google Maps interface that appears on the picture. The zoom is amazing…

Remember the photo-scanning sequence in Blade Runner?

Link – Thanks The Liberal Avenger!

    Indeed. This is pretty awesome. I like the one of that Mayan temple ... I think it was even on here one day.

    In Blade runner he scans this picture with a machine, and he can sort of move around thru the picture, and zoom in very far ... it's really cool.
