360° Cities
Carrying on the photography theme from the 26 Gigapixel post last month, here’s a site called 360cities, featuring panoramic views of different locations around the world. We are quite used to sites offering 360 views that are often ‘stitched’ together in Quicktime, but this site takes this concept to dizzying extremes (quite literally).
Check out this example, a panoramic view of Lake Tekapo in the south island of New Zealand. If you want things to get a bit trippy, right click and choose ‘Little Planet View’ and watch the landscape curl up into a tiny globe, or unfold into a huge tunnel. Each one is a work of art (and you can actually buy prints online).
They’ve even included a how to get started section, with a list of equipment needed to produce the images.
