This lecture will discuss how a photograph can transform into a dynamic piece of art on the web and bring a new layer of objectivity and transparency to journalism in the internet era. Old techniques like panoramas have received new life on the web and new lenses and software enable single moments to be captured in 360 degrees. Gigapan robots can help make a photograph so high in resolution that NASA drools over its billions of pixels. Metadata stored in a digital photo can tell you the latitude, longitude, time of day, lens used, exposure settings and much more. All of that metadata can be used by viewers in a narrative way by using flash and other web native languages.
