Add Your Own Scenery is an attempt to create the world’s biggest panorama.
Be apart of it! Upload a pic and once Merrel get’s 250,000 pictures, they donate $250,000 to their partnership organizations for land and park preservation!
How it works
Users are encouraged to upload photos taken with a mobile device and using the GPS data stored within the photo, they are placed into a global panorama. Images are then stitched together in a geographical strip from pole to pole across the globe. Bi-monthly challenges and a chance to win a trip around the world acted as appealing incentives for users to share their uploads and become the most favourite photo. Merrell also donated $1 for every photo uploaded with a target of $250,000 to help protect public lands. The site was supported by a Facebook uploader app and digital display advertising. Creative Review tweeted the site and Contagious featured it on their home page.

Break up what would be considered a traditional site with the use of line and angles. The page for the Omaha Barcamp does this seamlessly.

By far one of the greatest UI sites I’ve seen. Granted your average consumer is going to be a bit confused when they open this site up, but for us tech geeks, I thinks its just too damn beautiful not to share.
The email, FTP, and blog sectionals are my favorite.
Enjoy!

I ADORE this site from W Scott Chester Photography. It has everything I would look for if I were a client in a dynamic and interactive way. They inject personality into every aspect of the site, for example the forward/back buttons. Not to mention the fly-out behavior that every page has. Scott was named the 6th best wedding photographer in the world by the AGWPJA, so of course his site would only do his work justice.
This is a good example of when photographers should shell out for an amazing web designer. You want your beautiful photographs to be displayed as such.
Totally wearing my Hunter Boots like this :)
