50 Revealing Portraits of Power

Here's a great story of how one photographer saw an amazing opportunity and took it. This past September, when nearly all the world’s leaders were in New York for a meeting of the United Nations, Platon, a staff photographer for The New Yorker, set up a tiny studio off the floor of the General Assembly. He tried to get as many of them in front of his lens as possible. Why? For this project titled Portraits of Power.

Deck the pools: Festive divers work at an aquarium in Manila
A lot of bottle: Paris boasts Christmas trees made from recycled plastic bottles
In both Paris, France and Sydney, Australia, they opted for the eco-friendly option, building their own trees entirely out of recycled plastic bottles.
Closer to home, an ice tree was unveiled at St Pancras International last night and Claridge’s in Mayfair boasts the first tree to come with a leopard.

Bing Introduces 3-D Photosynth Maps

In an effort to beat Google at mapping, Microsoft Bing will use crowd-sourced photos to create a 3-D virtual worlds in its Maps application, the company has told FastCompany.com. The 3-D models will eventually be knitted into Bing Maps' existing aerial and street-views and will allow users to explore and zoom at a level of detail that Google and Yahoo Maps can't presently match. An exclusive screenshot of the new technology, which goes live Wednesday, shown above.

How It Works

The secret sauce behind this new iteration of Bing Maps is Microsoft Photosynth, software that analyzes digital pictures and generates a three-dimensional model of the photographed area, as well as a "point cloud" that helps the system integrate new images. Think of a Photosynth (or "synth," in Redmond parlance) as one of those 3-D video tours, except with dozens or hundreds of cameras contributing detail at every level. The effect is mind-blowing.
