Kotzebue wanderwoof and a robot by Ella Derbyshire

Nikon D80's

It was about 10 o'clock on a warm Spring night. The sky was clear of the fog that often shrouds Kotzebue this time of year, and the mountains could be seen on the horizon. We hopped on the ATV's and headed out on the loop road which has quite a few interesting views of the tundra and of town.

We came to this place where the sun was low on the horizon behind town. Wanderwoof set up the Gigapan robot on the tripod for a panorama of Kotzebue, and I played with my Nikon D80, collecting these 44 handheld images, which were stitched with Autopano Pro.

You might notice the shadows which confirm the near-360 degree field of view of this photograph.
