We Try Harder. My father's dental practice used to be just around the corner in Oestermärschstrasse. When I was little, I really liked the clean smell of it. Photo by DosRon. Aber nunmal ehrlich: dieses "Grösster Adventskranz der Welt am Borsigplatz" ist doch nun wohl eher hochnotpeinlich, oder? 7:24:06 PM   This & That | |

Jet. Photo taken in Brussels, last summer. I really need to be there more often. 5:44:07 PM   This & That | |

Zooming in. Extreme Resolution — Large Scale Panoramic Image Creation. Via Things. In Boston, a view from the Prudential Tower's Skywalk provided a good base to cover a portion of the city in narrow-field high density. Unfortunately, an automated pano head was not available, but 612 overlapping images were shot manually with a 300mm lens. Proving it is possible (but not sensible) to do a gigapixel shoot manually, luck held out and a successful stitch was made, resulting in a 95,000 by 40,000 pixel size image. 2:16:46 PM   Art & Advertising | |

20,000 Minutes of Your Time. What a nice project for the holidays: the Nautilus as a paper model kit. And here's more Disney stuff to turn into models. 1:08:36 PM   This & That | |
