GigaPans

Morning in Austria's lake district. This uses better-matched images than my first attempt (http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/60725/). The images are all 3-shot HDRs, tone mapped in Photomatix.

Roadcut in shales south of Wilson Lake, Kansas. Can you identify it's proper place in the stratigraphy (http://www.kgs.ku.edu/Publications/Bulletins/189/09_meso.html#CRET) of the region?

This is my first Gigapan that I have attempted. It was taken from the peak of Squaw Mountain. Before leaving I had no idea how hard it would be to make the hike with my Manfroto tripod, 7D, 70-200 lens and the Gigapan Epic Pro. I was freeeezing during the setup and 37 minutes of picture taking. Something I suspected was that there would be a variation in ambient light as the sun was setting. Because it was so cold and I was alone on top of a mountain I thought it not prudent to wait much longer ...

This GigaPan was taken with an Olympus e510 (custom bracket) and the 40-150mm kit lens set at 100 (200mm equivalent). This was taken at almost peak foliage color. The green is evergreen trees and oak that turns dirty brown later.

Lake Eola is a small lake in Downtown Orlando. The lake is actually a sinkhole and it is famous for its fountain. The sinkhole is located north of the fountain and goes to a depth of approximately 80 feet (24 m). The fountain changes colors at night like a light show.

A beautiful July 4th concert featuring the National Repertory Orchestra and the Lake Dillon Theatre performers. See how many American flags you can spot!

Created using a Canon T1i and Gigapan Epic 100. APG output to HDR to Photomatix for tone mapping to accentuate the holiday colors and scenic background, then blended HDR and standard exposure shots by hand in Photoshop to eliminate motion bluring of the people in the scene.

This was the very first Gigapan image I ever shot using a new Canon Powershot G9 12MP camera. I am not happy with the quality at all as there is far too much digital noise given the lighting conditions and the price of the camera. In the future I will probably use the noise reduction capabilities of Adobe Photoshop prior to running the stitching software.

This photo was taken on a dock on the North side of Alligator Lake, just east of St. Cloud, Florida.

Art meets traditional Minnesota culture every year at the Art Shanties Project. The usual clusters of ice fishing houses on Minnesota lakes are re-imagined as themed art installations. As one writeup (http://tinyurl.com/yaj8ccg) described it, "the ad hoc assortment of whimsical art shanties offers both a celebration of and a refuge from midwinter's chill, a send-up to the wry humor, dogged determination, and sheer cleverness of the hardy folks who live in these sometimes brutal climes....
