Shrewsbury company creates digital mosaic of the Queen
As Platinum Jubilee celebrations get underway Shrewsbury-based company Shoothill has created a one million image digital mosaic of Her Majesty the Queen titled ‘A Life In Pictures’.
The mosaic consists of one million photographs of the Queen, all taken at various stages of her life, even before her coronation.
The mosaic itself was built using Shoothill’s signature Megafiche technology, a tool that allows users to zoom in, zoom out and pan across all one million images without any loss of quality.
Rod Plummer, Managing Director of Shoothill, the software specialists’ company behind the project, based in Shropshire, said:
“70 years on the throne is an astonishing achievement and we at Shoothill wanted to celebrate in our own special way. A picture paints a thousand words but what about one million pictures? There’s a lot of history behind these images and we’re proud of what we’ve built.
"We spend a lot of our time building systems for private commercial clients, but every now and then, we like to do something a bit different for the public.”
