| DigitalGlobe's Top Satellite Images of 2012 DigitalGlobe is a worldwide leader in satellite imagery. Founded in 1993 under the name WorldView Imaging Corporation, it became EarthWatch Incorporated in 1995, before finally becoming DigitalGlobe in 2002. In 1993, the United States Department of Commerce granted DigitalGlobe (then WorldView), the first license allowing a private enterprise to build and operate a satellite system to gather high-resolution digital imagery of the earth for commercial sale. For the last few years, DigitalGlobe has held its annual end-of-the-year top satellite image contest. Their experts have combed through the vast archives from their three satellites (Quickbird, WorldView-1, and WorldView-2) and selected 20 finalists for this year's 'Top Satellite Image of the Year 2012' Now it's up to us to decide which ones we think are the most interesting, aesthetically pleasing and/or astounding. To vote, simply go to DigitalGlobe's Facebook page to see the Top Image Contest – 2012 album. You can "like" as many images as you want, but only the five images with the most likes will make it to the final round. On December 19, DigitalGlobe will announce the five images with the most "likes" and you will be able to vote on your favorite image via a Facebook poll. They will then announce the winning image of 2012 in early January 2013. Italy 2/04/12 – Costa Concordia Satellite Photograph by DigitalGlobe Japan 9/20/12 – Mt.

| Picture of the Day: The Ups and Downs Posted: 16 Dec 2012 07:39 PM PST THE UPS AND DOWNS Photograph by Bastian Staude – streetw[o]rk In this beautifully composed, monochrome image by street photographer Bastian Staude, we see two escalators side by side. The view from above is intriguing and it would be interesting to know how he got this straight down POV. The staggered steps between each escalator is perfect and the two people getting on/off completes the shot. Just a really great photograph that I really enjoyed looking at :) Be sure to check out streetwrk.com for more great street photographby by Bastian. Bastian Staude @ streetwrk.com via 500px.com   |
