Burj Khalifa, the site for world's highest selfie

Darpan News Desk IANS, 22 Nov, 2014 11:00 AM
    Taking the selfie phenomenon to a new level, a 47-year-old British photographer captured an image of himself on top of Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the tallest man-made structure in the world.
     
    Taking the selfie atop the 2,723 ft skyscraper, Gerald Donovan could well have taken the world's highest selfie, The Telegraph reported.
     
    A UAE-based photographer, Donovan used a special panoramic camera controlled by an iPhone app to capture the image.
     
    Aimed at offering a virtual tour of Dubai and a 360 degree panoramic time lapse, Donovan's photographs are part of the Dubai 360 project.
