OH MY GAWD! THAT'S FABULOUS!!
Excellent find Soda_Bob!! |
Interesting. Too bad it wasn't used on a porn shoot though.
|
The amount of clarity when you zoom in is simply amazing. You could spend hours playing "Where's 'so and so' in that picuture?"
|
That is by far the coolest picture I've seen.
The zoom feature is unbelievable. |
That's so cool. Here's a challenge for you all - I found a floating head/half torso in the pic somewhere. See if you can find it! (I'll check back in a couple of months to see if anyone's got it - it'll probably take that long!)
|
thats huge, and the possibilities for use are unlimited!
|
I found several seams including a few half torsos and a car that melts into a bus. doesn't affect the coolness factor though :)
|
Wow.
I have no idea why that's so cool. |
Completely insane. You can even read the license plates on the cars and see what's in their back windows. I'm sure our governments have even better technology to check-up on us. :hmm:
|
That really is excellent.
I'm searching around it and don't think i will stop anytime soon. Looking to see what people are doing in the houses at the moment. Not many people seem to be near their windows though which is a shame. I'll keep searching, if i find anything worth reporting i will. Going back to the pic now. |
That is soo cool. :cool:
|
Amazing, brings new meaning to Where's Waldo...
|
Wow... you can zoom in far enough to easily read vehicle's license plates...
Simply amazing... |
This is cool. The group of four people near the center...the one chick looks hot, and then I found a part of a car. Most of it's there, but the right rear corner was missing. Super cool.
|
The picture is awesome. This must be like what the NSA sees from its spy satellites :)
|
Man, I wish I had one of those "21" Cinematic Displays" - Great job Soda_Bob, I hope you filed for a patent. Next project: Live images.
By the way, what city is it? Can anyone tell? |
Somewhere in Canada?
|
Amsterdam?
|
It's bit hard to read the writing, is it in Norway maybe? Nice city though.
|
It's looking a little like somewhere in Europe. Like the others...I'm not sure, but that's what I'd say.
|
It's funny, I first noticed something was weird when I couldn't see any signs like McDonalds, Exxon, Starbucks, Gap, Target, Wal-Mart etc. You know, how a typical American city/town. And look at all the trees.....
So unlike LA.... |
It's taken in the city of Delft, which is in Holland
|
Canada??
ahahaha the licenses plates definitley point towards somewhere in europe. who knows where tho..(well, probably one of you guys :p ) also a question for you technical guys; if the file size is 7.5 gigs, how are we able to view it in such detail without actually downloading the 7.5 gig file? |
thats so cool great find.
|
big,bigger,huge!
|
Ahhhhhh! *slaps forehead* Delft!
Well, my Amsterdam guess was kinda close, at least it's in Holland. Yeah Canada, what was I thinking! I got a little jumpy and started blurting out answers withouth thinking, hehehe! Wait, Rainheart, how do you know it's in Delft? Was there a sign somewhere or could you tell by the license plate? I think in Europe they have that oval sticker on the back of the car tellling you what country they're from: Like, "CH" for Switzerland, "ESP" for Spain, etc.. If so, where in the "grid" would it be, I'd like to check it out too. I got tired of scrolling around everywhere... |
SLUG BUG! :thumbsup:

Firefox w/flash plugin worked fine.
That was a truely awesome photo! |
That was fantastic when i zoomed in on the ground in a random spot and could see the individual rocks.
Good stuff. |
Wow.. the level of detail is amazing. I actually ran across that link a while agao and didn't realise what it was!
|
That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen on the internet. Well done.
