To create this 360º 'Gigapixel Panorama' of the world's largest city, photographer Jeffrey Martin took over 10,000 photos from the Tokyo Tower, and combined them digitally to form an interactive image, the second largest photo ever taken
Over this past weekend, I took some snapshots using my phone at Niagara Falls NY. I'm posting some here.

| B&B For Sale |
I used a filter the phone camera comes with on some of the pictures.

I should point out that I didn't make any of the photographed elements in the pictures myself.

I happened to be there at the precise moment when the sun light was doing it's thing.

If they are any good, it was luck. This one, up top, has a bird. For more pictures click here.

The kids will not understand that, when we were growing up in the film era, the cost of taking and developing a photo placed a limit on how many pictures you would take.
I have a very few good pics of my kids, taken during the 70s and 80s. Preservation of those old film prints is a problem, too.
My daughter takes a couple of dozen pics per day of of my new grandddaughter. She gives me a CD every couple of weeks. I love it. 30 years from now, those baby pics will be as good as new, too!
I doubt those files will be extant or readable in 30 years.
Now that you mention that. I've had to delete some mp3's from my music folder. They skip in a way reminiscent of a non emergency police siren. a little bit.
I did a 360 photo at Niagara Falls. But Lem was not in it. Because I did it a while ago.
Well I assume Lem was not in it.

Don't underestimate the tenacity of proud mommies and daddies!
I was there sometime in 84, 85, and this weekend past.
Nice photo of the falls. And with a camera phone? wow. Mine doesn't perform like that at all.
email all your pictures then you'll be assured there is at least one copy forever at NSA.
Chip is correct, but retrieval will be a bitch. The FOIA does not cover one getting one's own data back.
I'm having trouble finding what's supposed to be the largest picture ever taken. Is it this picture of London?
The largest ever taken indoors is supposedly this pic of the Strahov Library.
I also remember seeing a monster pic of Everest about a year ago.
I'm curious now to see the world's second largest wallet.

Donald Trump comes to mind for some reason.

He said wallet, not rug.
Let there be Lem.
this pic of the Strahov Library contains a book called Item Havy Lucy Dextri Bronicon Veniferfale
Translation: First Edition of I Love Lucy before la bronca.
Let there be Lem.
I didn't get that right away.

Thanks Deb.

Capturing everything that exists from a single point in space
The Total Perspective Vortex does this using a piece of fairy cake.
In the panorama, scroll down just a bit to where the black void is visible and due east (or right)there's an eight story orangey building just behind a tiny graveyard and left of a green roofed building.
At the base of the building behind the dumpster, what's up with the crooked construction? Digital artifact? Japanese architectural style not understandable to a western mind? Earthquake?
Also, a little further right, just behind the green roof, Japanese schoolgirls in uniforms.
Very cool: the lovely photos by Lem, and the Tokyo panorama.
Fascinating to zoom in for detail on the Tokyo photograph(s). (That Blow-Up/ Blade Runner uncanniness.)
At the base of the building behind the dumpster, what's up with the crooked construction? Digital artifact?
Yes, the image is out of joint there, not the building (which appears to be a school, can see the classrooms through the windows). You can tell e.g. by looking at the balcony of the green-roofed building in front.
Another example (first one I came across) where you can see the digital seams: to the right of the green wooded park area (the park with a circle in it), under the highway overpass, at the intersection, you can see phantom cars, doubled and in fragments. Stitches in time.

Uncorrected problem since the last Godzilla attack.
Some of my old music CDs have started to deteriorate. The aluminum layer is flaking between the plastic layers. I made copies as soon as I noticed this happening. I imagine photo CDs and DVDs will do the same. Save them in more than one format.
That is awesome as anything. You can zoom in and out and get incredible detail. You can see people and read license plates. I've been looking for weird stuff ever since I've loaded the panoramic. Incredible.
ChipA found what looks like a drunk or possibly dead person. Made a new post of it.
