I take it this is your synth from video, Charlie?

If so, it's my favourite video-based synth yet. =]

Cheers!

"A rainbow nestles between the hills, hugging the side of a mountain above the desert town of Borrego Springs, California. It lasted for hours as we hiked the trails, so distracting it was hard to walk without stumbling over the rocky ground. Wow!"

that is great. I think the seadragon version and this mosaic are different media and combine very well. the mosaic feels like a dream.

Torrey Pines Bathtub Rock

"Flat Rock (sometimes called Bathtub Rock) juts out from the cliff line at the south end of Torrey Pines state beach. It has a curious rectangular cutout in its center of unknown origin. This synth captures the cliff face, the beach, and the rock. The following link goes to another synth covering the trail leading down from the park above: http://tinyurl.com/mz6u7x"

Torrey Pines Moonscape

"Cool eroded landscape in Torrey Pines State Reserve, CA. This was taken from the Broken Hill overlook. Great point cloud for the tip of the point! And check out the spinnable cactus."

I love these big Californian synths of yours and can hardly wait to see them in Bing Maps 3D. Hopefully later this year. :)

Torrey Pines State Reserve beach trail

"A section of a spectacular trail leading down from Torrey Pines state reserve (home of California's rarest pine tree) to the beach below. North of San Diego, CA, USA. For an even larger synth of the beach and cliffs below go to http://tinyurl.com/n5rteh"

Just flipping through synths and found this gem. Apart from photos of trees, streams, ponds and static objects, this is a type of synth I have been planning to do.
You hit the nail on the head by giving the sense of depth and movement over the terrain. The pointcloud turned out beautiful. I'm also hoping to do a cliff shoot where the feeling of "danger near the edge" is conveyed in the synth. Where your stomach jumps a little. I know this is not impossible, having seen single photos giving the desired effect.
One historical photo comes to mind. A single photograph of the empire state building, where about 10 workers are sitting on an I-beam casually eatting lunch, very high above the ground below. Imagine a synth made from that moment. Anyway, nice job.
P.S. Love this site, one of the best on the web.
