Extreme Resolution Photography


xRes is a consortium of digital artists dedicated to exploring the creative opportunities available through gigapixel digital photography. And this site is extremely cool: in addition to some absolutely beautiful photography, they also have some QTVRs of gorgeous panoramas, and my favourite part, incredibly high resolution pictures you can actually pan around and zoom in on. The picture above is from one of those: a high resolution shot of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. If you look closely at the bottom of the left picture, you can just make out two specks that turn out to be the people pictured on the right side.

The photos are all lovely, but the real interest is the incredible detail captured in these shots.
