The Death Star was as big as Florida, and other boggling size comparisons
If the world's tallest building existed in New York City, it would put One World Trade Center to shame.
That's just one takeaway from a new, inspired photo series by college student Kevin Wisbith.
He posted a series called "A Quick Perspective" to Imgur that puts enormous landmarks, buildings, ships and fictional markers scaled against different settings. His digitally constructed photo series includes the Death Star, the tallest building in the world and the largest existing oil tanker placed in settings that put their vast size in perspective.

"I had a little bit of down time and wanted to experiment with compositing 3D models into photos as it's not something that I had a whole lot of experience with," Wisbeth told Mashable over email.
But that lack of experience didn't stop him from trying. And his first attempt only inspired him to make more.
"I believe the first photo I attempted was the Titanic next to an aircraft carrier," he said. "After I converted all of the dimensions from the ships into pixels and got them sized up, it looked off due to the my previous misconception about the actual size of the Titanic. I double checked the math and it all appeared to be right, which just spurred my curiosity with the other models I downloaded."
