The Birds Nest 360



I've seen a lot of photos of this years Beijing Olympics, but none of them impressed me as much as this massive panoramic photo made by Finnish photographer Kari Kuukka.

You'll need to be patient when the photo loads, on my fast connection it still took almost a minute. Once the counter reaches 100%, use your mouse to drag the picture around, for a 360 degree image of the men's 100 meter finals.

If you see something in the image you'd like to get a closer look at, use your SHIFT and CTRL buttons to zoom in or out. If you turn the image around, you'll get up close and personal with some comedic photo journalists making funny faces, and if you look "down", you'll see the dome of the panoramic camera used to make this amazing photo.
