National Geographic's Infinite Photograph will mesmerize you

National Geographic has a fun new feature called the Infinite Photograph that takes over 300,000 photos collected from its archives and submitted by users, and turns them into a giant photo mosaic. It lets you zoom in infinitely, making your way deeper into each photo as it breaks down into smaller photos of various colors.
The service is the latest effort to promote the company's MyShot program, which showcases user-uploaded photographs that appear both online and in the monthly publication.

Commenting

Comments can be made in the white box to the right of photos, though leaving a comment on a photo isn't what it used to be. Comments become chit-chat and chit-chat becomes conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Adobe Photoshop Express Beta?

It's an online photo library, editing and sharing website. Think of it this way. You shot it - not it's time to do something with it. You can crop, rotate, change colors, enhance, remove red eye, and even some crazy special effects like twirling and distorting. When you're done, you can share the photos using galleries and even give people a link to go see them.
