Photosynth 2.0: New Tool to Photo Document Stormwater Trash in Small Streams & Creeks
Microsoft has released a new version of Photosynth that significantly improves photo documentation of creek trash. I took my digital camera to Rock Creek, a small tributary of the Tookany – Tacony Creek to see how if Photosynth can be used to document creek trash in small creeks. The answer is YES!.
Here are links to several Rock Creek Photosynths that show the power of this tool in documenting creek conditions.

Photosynth’s Walk mode lets you “glide” from photo to photo along the creek as if you were flying. You can stop the auto advance and move forward – reverse at your own pace.You can zoom and pan to see the creek litter or others of interest. This tool takes litter photography to a whole new level.
