photographer jeffrey martin used a robot-controlled canon 550d to document the philosophical hall, a baroque reading room located in the 868 year old strahov monastery library in prague. the finished strahov library panorama is a zoomable, high resolution peek into the repository of rare books that is off limits to tourists. there are 42,000 volumes in the collection of just about every important book available in central europe at the end of the 18th century. read more about the process here. it's pretty amazing - you can actually zoom in and look at the books close up. le sigh!
