This photo by Peter Yang showing President Elect Barack Obama next to his Apple MacBook Pro with a PacMan on the lid is quickly becoming iconic… It is one of my personal favorite actually.

Peter Yang is one of the many masters of photography bringing inspiration into our lives.

Remember the Yosemite Extreme Panoramic Imaging Project? Well, Gerard Maynard shot over 2,000 images taken in Yosemite with a D2X and a 300mm f/4 with a TC1.7 for them.

Here is his part of the job, 2,046 photos from Glacier Point stitched together.Gerard used NX2

The result? A panoramic picture over 17 gigapixels!! Zoomify allows you to zoom in closely enough to count the number of people on top of Half Dome ah!

Make sure to check the other four location point he shot from… it’s incredible how detailed these panoramics are!!

The video plugin is fixed! You can watch all the videos again, it should crash the server anymore

In this episode, Yuri Arcurs is giving away some great tips on how to get that natural, genuine smile and full laughing smile - and the importance of freezing between the shots to get crisp, sharp images.

Also in this episode is the use of a second shooter for expensive shoots, super group shoots or expensive models.

Great pointers!
