National Geographic's Photography Contest 2010

National Geographic's Photography Contest 2010
National Geographic is once again holding their annual Photo Contest, with the deadline for submissions coming up on November 30th. For the past eight weeks, they have been gathering and presenting galleries of submissions, encouraging readers to rate them as well. National Geographic was again kind enough to let me choose some of their entries from 2010 for display here on The Big Picture. Collected below are 47 images from the three categories of People, Places and Nature. Captions were written by the individual photographers. (47 photos total) Kanana Camp, Botswana.

Exploring the Haikyo and Ruins of Japan Japan is littered with relics of the recent past; derelict husks of buildings known as ‘haikyo‘- a Japanese word that means ruin or abandoned building. Outside Japan exploring these places is known as ‘urbex‘- short for urban exploration. Thousands of these haikyo / ruins / abandonments dot Japan’s dark heartlands; once grand structures now left to rot and collapse, leaving behind their gradually fading mark on a country torn apart and reshaped by social upheaval, modernization, world war, and economic collapse. Go to page two to see the abandoned volcano museum, numerous ghost towns, and the ruined Keishin hospital amongst others. By using our testkings and 000-037 e-book facility, you can carry your 000-977 prep solutions anywhere along with you. The 312-50 and 000-087 tutorials are also accessible with free downloadable feature.

Prague TV Tower - World's Largest Spherical Panorama About this Photo This is a super high resolution photo. Use your mouse to zoom in and see a startling level of detail. This image is currently (as of 12/2009) the largest spherical panoramic photo in the world. It is 192,000 pixels wide and 96,000 pixels tall. That’s 18.4 billion pixels, or 18.4 gigapixels! Corner View - Holiday Pics - Butlin's Hello to the Corner Viewers! Since a large proportion of this blog already consists of a fair amount of my vacation pics, (enough already, right!?) and because this week's theme was chosen by our itinerant Brit, Ian, at An Englishman Abroad, I thought I would share somebody else's idea of vacation pics.

46 of the most amazing photographs of 2012 2012 has been a great year in it's own way. It may have been full of ups and downs, victories and losses, successes and disappointment (as with pretty much any year). But how ever you've found it. It's still been full of wondrous and wonder. Or something. All of these photos came to light this year. Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre Photography - The Ruins of Detroit At the end of the XIXth Century, mankind was about to fulfill an old dream. The idea of a fast and autonomous means of displacement was slowly becoming a reality for engineers all over the world. Thanks to its ideal location on the Great Lakes Basin, the city of Detroit was about to generate its own industrial revolution. Chris Jordan - Midway On Midway Atoll, a remote cluster of islands more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent, the detritus of our mass consumption surfaces in an astonishing place: inside the stomachs of thousands of dead baby albatrosses. The nesting chicks are fed lethal quantities of plastic by their parents, who mistake the floating trash for food as they forage over the vast polluted Pacific Ocean. For me, kneeling over their carcasses is like looking into a macabre mirror.
