“My hyperphotos strive to capture the panorama and the macro view all at once, to stop time and to have the possibility of viewing all the details of a static image"—Jean-François Rauzier

Hyperphotos Jean-François Rauzier.

No, this is not one of those shitty epileptic trap links. It is something beautiful.

There's a man who takes hundreds of photos, and melds them onto one, impossibly large image, called a hyperphoto. Zoom in, take a look. The link is to one of my favorites. It's called "Versailles city hall stairs", but it reminds me of something out of Lord of the Rings, or some other Elven palace. It's so beautiful. Take a look at the other images there too (I'd suggest browsing with google chrome if you don't read French--translator was a huge help for me. ^^;).

"Hyperphotos are to panoramic photos what Google Earth is to a globe. You can keep clicking and zooming and clicking and zooming, seemingly endlessly, until you find yourself on a dramatic balcony, looking up a statue’s nose."

Jean-François Rauzier is fascinated by photography since childhood. He started his studies in the "Ecole Nationale Louis Lumière" in 1976. For 30 years, he has been exploring painting, sculpting, asphalt… Enriched by the learning of the commercial photography he practiced, pionner of the numerical collection, he invented the "Hyperphoto" concept, which enabled him to fulfill his approach.
