Sometimes a small rendering or photograph is enough to illustrate the point – but in other cases, size really does matter. By popular demand, WebUrbanist would like to announce an all new section to the site featuring photos at four to twenty times the size regularly seen in the course of ordinary articles: the Big Picture Galleries.
So far the scope is intentionally sizable like the pics themselves: from polar ‘little planet’ panoramas to sweeping skyline pictures, deserted medieval city street photos to modern underground subway station shots and urban street art images – all sourced so you can see even bigger versions in their original context and mostly available under various Creative Commons licenses for you to use as well (but be sure to check creators’ pages for exact rules).
While they are brand new, these galleries have been in the works for a while now – thanks to you. Your support and feedback helps guide our course and as you told us: sometimes small pics are just not enough and you need something huge to get the proverbial ‘bigger picture’ behind a work of art or design. Thanks to everyone for readings, subscribing via RSS, following on Twitter and being a fan on Facebook – then click here to get The Big Picture.

Back in architecture school, students used to spend hours manually assembling panoramas from individual still images or digital camera movie stills. A few years later, here we are with not only the technological capability of producing these with a single click-and-weep of a camera but the commercial viability to have these available to a mainstream buying audience.
As a rule, WebUrbanist shuns sponsored content and avoids articles that could be construed as paid. Still, when Sony wanted to give us a chance to have 10 brand-new panoramic CyberShot cameras donated to a school of our choice, well, as you can imagine: there are a lot of architecture and design students who could certainly use one of these in their department.
The contest works like this: a number of publishers have submitted images taken with a CyberShot camera sent to them by Sony to the WeSay Photo Contest. For obvious reasons, we are not supposed to reveal which pictures are ours – though you can bet they are somewhat strange and offbeat of course. Winners will be declared later this month.
And the camera itself? It is, I must admit, damned cool. Basically, you can select to have a wide or narrow perspective (which corresponds to how you hold the camera – vertically or horizontally) and then you click the button and rotate it in place. While a lot of folks are clearly going to have fun shooting panoramic vistas in nature or cityscapes from the tops of skyscrapers, I personally think the real fun and creativity of these fresh capabilities lies in rethinking ordinary scenes – interior, domestic, local shots that one would not normally think to try out a panoramic on. Because I did not submit it to the contest I will say this: it was a good deal of fun to try shooting vertically across a street – starting with the building facades on one side and sweeping up past the sky and back down on the other side. So, go ahead and cast your vote – we will let you know how it all turns out.
