Gigapixel Photographs by Scott Howard

by Justin Glow (RSS feed) on Jun 7th 2007 at 6:00PM

Scott Howard spent two days in 2005 taking almost 200 photos from an area near the Adler Planetarium to create this gigantic image of the Chicago skyline at night. Using a piece of software called Zoomify, the images were then stitched together and packaged in a Flash project that allows you to zoom in -- waaaaaaay in -- on any part of the image.

He used the same technique on two more stunning locations: Sydney, Australia, and Machu Picchu in Peru. Impressive! [via]

Actually, Bill, Scott used a Canon 10D to capture those images.

Very impressive, and as a Chicagoan, I love the skyline shots!
