Dubai – United Arab Emirates

As for the first photo, one of many photographers – Gerald Donovan, took the GigaPan Epic Pro robotic camera mount, equipped it with his Canon 7D and let it start snapping for more than three-and-a-half hours. Ultimately, he ended up with more than 4,250 frames, which combined into an image with a resolution equal to 44,800-megapixels. According to the press release, the image would be bigger than 1,200 billboards if printed out.

The breathtaking city of Dubai and the interesting focal effect achieved by stitching together more than four thousand images makes it very interesting to view none the less. Donovan’s camera was equipped with a Canon 100-400mm f/4-f/5.6L.

Designer Antonio Pio Saracino presented his Cervo Chairs at the ICFF 2010 in New York.

There’s a scene where a sculpture comes to life, crawls across the living room and pins Delia (Catherine O’Hara) down, leaving her and her husband immobile while Beetlejuice tries to marry their daughter (Winona Ryder).  I think I want this in my living room.
