Giant Things

Giant Factory

These Naoya Hatakeyama pho­tos of a lime fac­tory are incred­i­bly strik­ing — they look like some­thing out of Quake or Star Wars, huge, inm­pos­si­bly baroque and gorgeous.

Now this is just amaz­ing. With this one photo you can look into every vis­i­ble win­dow. Talk about one large picture…

City Scape

The pho­tos are being taken with a 4 gigapixel cam­era and have enough res­o­lu­tion to see inside a hotel room win­dow 3km away.

Blur Building

Blur Building

The football-field sized pavil­ion was made of fil­tered lake water shot as a fine mist through 13,000 fog noz­zles cre­at­ing an arti­fi­cial cloud. A built-in weather sta­tion con­troled fog out­put in response to shift­ing cli­matic conditions.

The struc­ture hov­ered 75’ above the water’s sur­face on four columns. After a 400’ long walk­way, vis­i­tors entered a foggy mist. Upstairs at the Angel Bar that pierced through the cloud layer to the open sky, they would be served a sam­pling of var­i­ous spring, arte­sian, min­eral, sparkling, and other bot­tled waters from around the world.

Camera Tossing Picutures

Camera TossCamera Toss 2

Check out the Flickr Cam­era Toss­ing Photo Pool. They toss dig­i­tal cam­eras into the air with the shut­ter open to gen­er­ate cool streaky time expo­sures of city lights at night. It’s not some­thing I’m going to risk with my cam­era any­time soon.
