The Sandpiper is a traditional bed and breakfast located on California’s North coast in Elk California. The rooms have a great view of a cove and the surf. A large and lush garden exists on the surf side with a bench or two. This is a fine place to watch the sunset and have a little wine. The rooms here are comfortable and traditional.

This shot was taken about a hlf mile North of the room looking back towards the Sandpiper:

The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is an oceanfront amusement park in Santa Cruz, California. Founded in 1907 it is California's oldest surviving amusement park and one of two seaside parks on the West Coast of the United States (the other being the Santa Monica Pier).

The eastern end of the boardwalk is dominated by the Giant Dipper roller coaster, one of the best-known wooden coasters in the world and one of the most visible landmarks in Santa Cruz. The Dipper and the Looff Carousel, whic...

The view of the bay outside Stackpole Quay (as we came back from the walk to Barafundle bay http://gigapan.org/gigapans/51265/ ) - Stackpole Quay itself is on the left (the big rock which can be seen is in the next bay along - http://gigapan.org/gigapans/51254/ ), the view is going north east up the Pembroke coast: Manorbier Castle can be seen as can the lighthouse on Caldey Island http://gigapan.org/gigapans/51444/ .

Pentax Kx, A 135 f2.8 (at f8).

Stackpole Quay itself - related to Pembrokeshire pictures generally. This shot is focussed better on the closer things - impossible depth of field needed to deal with it, really - so its a bit blurrier than I'd have liked on things like the tea shop/ice cream parlour (top right) where we had Cowpots ice creams after visiting Barafundle bay http://gigapan.org/gigapans/51265/ . This shot was done from further along and higher up the same outcrop from which the bay to the north http://gigapan....

Seastacks and coastal terraces beside the Pacific Coast Highway between Bodega Head and Jenner, California.

To the best of my knowledge this GigaPan is the world's first full gigapixel anaglyph image. In order to view the image in 3D you'll need a pair of red/blue anaglyph glasses (you may have a pair in your collection of National Geographic Magazines). Warning: although I've done what I could to minimize it, if you view this GigaPan at full zoom the image separation in some...

Mendocino is a culturally and physically colorful place along the North Coast of California. This private garden is in the front yard of a house tucked in between the galleries and shops along the seafront walk arcross from the Headland Park.

We used Photoshop to enhance the color and brightness of this gigapan which was uploaded originally from the Gigapan stitch files on June 10th.

Shooting Note! Because of the distance I thought I could use the infinity focus on the Nikon P90 camera, thinking this would keep the focus constant. However, time was tight to take this pan and I noticed the camera trying to focus before the shots. I did not have time to shoot it over and now can see that there are stitched areas that are sharp nex...

Its... The Green Bridge of Wales. With loads of guillemots on what we quickly came to call guillemot island. Round the corner on Stack Rocks there's even more guillemots. Horrendous stich error on the top coast for no reason I can see (Gigapan Stitch 1.0.0805) [Microsoft ICE 1.3.5 is a tiny bit better but still bends the horizon and it makes a mess out of blending the sea Autopano pro is just dreadful, so this is the best I can do at the moment.]

This limestone arch is a frequently-shot feature of Dorset's Jurassic Coast. This shot is unusual for me because the sun is directly in the camera field of view, straight ahead.
