Description
The question is, how big is this. I tried to remove any frame of referance for scale to show the fractal nature of the Earth. I took it with a 4X5 inch large format camera in Dakar Senegal. The negative was then scanned and edited slightly in photoshop. It was about 40000 pixels across... 150 mb. I then printed it out onto four sheets of super-b sized paper (13 by 19) so it was tiled. Glued the peices together, and produced a massively huge image. I hope you like it.

It is indeed very cool. You've made it very hard to guess the scale, especially without and context to put it in. I'm guessing the scale is pretty large though, or there wouldn't be a mist layer below. The bottom left rocks look about 20ft below you.

You have succeeded in removing any frame of reference so well that you have removed any sense of drama at the same time. Mind you, a 40'000x40'000 pixel version must be really impressive.

Oh, never mind...I understand now...we did that with a shot of a football player and used it as a display at the photo lab where I used to work. You did a great job, as you can't tell where the seams were. []/;^)
