It started when my wife and I were following my brother to his place from a wedding. After looking through some photos I got bored and snapped some shots of his car. As you can see, not the most exciting picture in the world.
But what if I could make it into the most exciting picture in the world? With the power of Photoshop, anything is possible.
Panoramio is yet another photo sharing site like Flickr. What sets them apart is their integration with Google Earth. As you pan around the globe, photos from Panoramio users will appear in as icons. The also support tagging and some social networking features as any Web2.0 site should.
I’ve uploaded some photos, you can see my page here. I’m a little disappointed that I don’t see an easy way to embed my photostream directly into a blog post.
Even more interestingly, you can see my photos in Google Maps or (if you have it installed) on Google Earth.
These images all come from source photos I took in the town of Delaware, Ohio.
