I always think it’s pretty cool when humans come together to form various images and designs on the ground. Especially when they manage to pull it off quite well. The amount of planning and coordination that goes into something like must be pretty immense. You need to come up with an idea, then a design, find enough people to actually do it, sort out the right coloured clothing, and then get them all to stand where they’re supposed to. As part of their 100th anniversary celebration, Italian Nikon distributor, Nital, in collaboration with Media Italia has made one of their own. And they went huge. Involving over a thousand people. They are now the Guinness World Record holders of the “largest human image of a camera”. Essentially an image of a camera made up of humans.
The day starts out with a good design plan. Without this, nobody would even know where to stand. An image shows the ground with the design laid out before anybody started to take their place.

– Nikon Press Release Well, special and unique sounds about right to describe this event. A great way to get one’s birthday in the record books. And even without the logo and branding, there’s no mistaking that red swoosh under the shutter button.
I wonder if they’re planning to add a grip for the next anniversary gathering. [via Nikon Rumors]
