That's incredible, but how was it done, and what is it?

Its a mini globe photo (google it) but its taken over a full 24 hour period.

Looks like a lump of turd served on a CD disc!

Clever stuff but methinks too clever for its own good.

Im going to go against the grain here...

I haven't got a clue what it is, what it represents and its message. To me if I have to google it to find out what it is or how it was created to understand the image, its fighting a loosing battle as a good photo for me. I appreciate some will know how it was created, because they know what went into it, but for me it looks like a CGI mish mash.

Like robin said, too clever for its own good??

I think what confuses people is the "earth". It's meant to be a panoramic view over 24 hours:

FWIW I'm gonna go ahead and call it art.

I think it's clever and very good.

Agree with Stealth in that i think it's Art :happy2:

Technically it's great and the subject is very original, but this photo proves that a really great shot has to have something more. It's interesting but it doesn't satisfy. Photographers will appreciate it but I think it's illustrating the technology rather than the skill of the guy behind the lens.
 
I can see it as Art but it still doesn't appeal to me.

Calm down Tiger. What I don't get is why you would all of a sudden say I need to take a picture lasting 24hours that's all.

....I did expand on my thoughts in a later post. That first post was my initial reaction. But it's only my opinion and shouldn't matter.

I suppose the same reason why we take photos at all. I think the time lapse star trail is awesome... But maybe I'm coming from technical perspective.

I like some of the star trails I have seen but not all. I think at the end of the day if we all liked the same stuff it would be a very boring world.

I can appreciate what he's done with the 24hr photo just not my cup 'o tea.  :wink:
