National Parks Infinite Photo from NatGeo
August 20, 2010 – 1:00 pmThe National Parks Infinite Photo page at NationalGeographic.com says:
Zoom in on a spectacular national park photo to reveal hundreds more photos making up the original. Then zoom again at each level for an endless array of images, each submitted by users to My Shot.
This description actually misrepresents the thing a little — as do my screenshots of it below.
It starts with an image from a National Park. Click on a section of it to zoom in. Now that zoomed section is comprised of a mosaic of many, many tiny photos similar in color to the area you zoomed in on. Click again and the tiny photos get larger. Once more and it zooms even further to show 16 regular photos. Click on a single photo and you’re back to doing the whole process again.
It is an endless mosaic similar to Apple’s thing that turns an iPhoto library into a Mosaic Screensaver — but with National Park photos.
