PANOGRAPH
 Posted on Phototuts - how to turn a photograph into a panograph. A panograph is a made up of a series of images that are manually assembled together to create a larger image. It’s a technique used to achieve a “what the eye sees” kind of view. Meaning what our eyes see outside the viewfinder are the details of a place.
THE DROSTE EFFECT

Today I read about the Droste Effect which  is an image effect named after a Dutch cocoa company called Droste which is an image comprised of multiple copies of the same image with each version of the image being successively smaller than the last. To use this effect in CS5 Pixel Bender needs to first be downloaded and then the Droste filter can be applied. You can read the instructions at Digital Photography School
