Another great video from Devin Graham. The song is called Pacific Coast Highway by Wentworth & Mordemere. Check out his other videos Huge Bike Jumps and iSoccer.

It took 6 different 1/2 days of filming tarp surfing with riders, 1 evening/sunset for intro, 3 full days of filming surfers/waves, 2 days filming people just having fun/dancing, and 120 hours of editing. The entire video was shot on the Canon 5D Mark II, except for one slow motion shot with a Canon T2i, and a glidecam HD-4000.

Paris 26 Gigapixels: World Largest Image! http://mitchmckenna.com/post/6722/paris-26-gigapixels-world-largest-image

Below is a preview of the Paris 26 Gigapixels image. It is impossible not to marvel with the 26 Giga Pixels of Paris. The photo was made by gluing 2345 individual photos and has a total resolution of 354,159 x 75,570 pixels. Paris 26Gigapixels was shot with 2 Canon 5D Mark II's each with a 300 mm f4.0 with a tele converter in order to get a 600mm / f8.0 needed to beat the record, mounted on a custom-made panoramic head.

How awesome would this be for a real-world game of "Where's Waldo?"! Visit the project's website to explore the image through their interactive interface: http://paris-26-gigapixels.com
