Deep Sky

37,000 photos, 6 air-cooled cameras to make 1 massive picture

Some photography projects are long and involved, but this one takes the prize for sheer scale. After logging some 60,000 Miles and shooting over 37,000 individual photos on 6 air-cooled cameras at different wavelengths, Nick Risinger has managed to assemble the most complete survey of the night sky as seen from earth. The full image comes in at a hefty 5000MP and encompasses the entire night sky as seen from the surface of this planet. It truly is something to behold.

The project calls www.skysurvey.org home, definitely check it out.

George Street CCTV goes live

Saturday Night Live on George

That right there is the operations room for the RNC’s new project of CCTV coverage on George Street. Twelve cameras in all at a cost of $260,000 and another $50k per year for three years for upkeep.

I would probably pay them to watch those cameras all day.

Back in January I wrote an op-ed piece for Signalblog in regard to the new camera system and it’s impact, you can check that out here.
