(New York) Real Photographs VS. Google Earth models

EddyNL

Hi guys,

Haven't used Google Earth in a couple of weeks...
When I went in to take a closer look at New York, I noticed almost all buildings are now modelled in 3D!

I've used some of my New York photographs and tried to find the exact same location in Google Earth.

Please take a look at the enclosed GIF file.

I think Google Earth did a great job!

Indeed it is impressive! And you did a good job matching your photos. I've watched the sequence over & over -- always something different to see. When you were in NY you must have taken one of the helicopter rides - it looks like you had a great tour.

@ Ross M.
Yeah, most images are from a heli tour.
I'm impressed Google has modeled Manhattan!

Great Shots of New York
However it looks like Chicago is not too far behind. Attached is an aerial shot of Chicago in article by Philip Greenspun on photo.net(http://photo.net/learn/aerial/primer)

Nice one Alpmeadow!
Chicago looks realistic, I'll have to take a look in GE.
