I love world records, peopel all the world put a lot of effort in to each record, there is unmatched energy, research and a desire to be the worlds best.
So guess my amazement when I discovered a world record in photos as of November 2010, the worlds biggest panoramic photo.
Check out London, its landmarks and its story pixel by pixel by Jeffrey Martin at 360cities*
from his website:
"This is an 80-gigapixel panoramic photo, made from 7886 individual images. This panorama was shot from the top of the Centre Point building in central London, in the summer of 2010. We hope that the varied sights and energy of London have been captured here in a way never done before, so that you can experience one of the world's great cities - wherever you may be right now. "
Wow, can wait to see more!
