GigaPans

This insect specimen drawer exemplifies the diversity of forms displayed by species in the four largest insect orders: Coleoptera (beetles & weevils), Hymenoptera (wasps, bees & ants), Lepidoptera (moths & butterflies), and Diptera (true flies). Together these orders comprise over 800,000 species, the majority of the diversity of multicellular life.

This panorama was done as part of a larger collection digitization effort at the North Carolina State University Insect Museum, funde...

This GigaPan was taken of Keck Hall in mid-January when the students returned from Christmas break. To my eye, it is the best that I have taken and I am very pleased with it. As one can readily see, it was taken late in the afternoon and it was a blue-sky day.

This particular Gigapan image captures a comb of brood from a diseased honey bee colony in a way not previously available to the general public. For those new to beekeeping, or apprehensive about opening up a hive, this panorama, and others like it, can be used to teach beekeepers disease identification and bee biology.

Normally, from this location the Texas Medical Center is very visible (http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/static.panoramio.com/photos/original/22396483.jpg), but not when this collection of photgraphs was taken. TMC is totally obscured by fog.

This panorama has 22 instances of three friends walking from Hanszen College to the north east corner of Tudor Field House where at that point they turned west toward the parking lot.

Note: an earlier GigaPan, http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=30905 , did not include the panoramic view of Pasadena and the Houston Ship Channel area as does this panorama.

An stunning view of Houston from Galena Park and the Houston Ship Channel area westward to the heart of the downtown area, especially so since there are two pillars not shown in this panorama, but yet the view can almost be considered ...

This replaces a previous version of Cara's GigaPan, which was taken to the west of Brochstein Pavilion. Cara was between classes and happily agreed to be in this panorama; however, there are a couple of problems with it due to my error, which I regret.

Other than that, this is a very beautiful panorama, which has been re-uploaded for your continual enjoyment.

There are other panoramas that have been taken around Brochstein and can be seen here: http://tinyurl.com/BrochsteinPavill...

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 ...

There are numerous views of this area that can be found in earlier GigaPans, but I would say that none of them were taken on such a beautiful day as what this was.

This hand-held panorama taken in an open field shows Tudor Fieldhouse, Alice Pratt Brown Hall, McNair Hall, Baker Hall, and features numerous building of the Texas Medical Center.

This 31-photo, 360-degree panorama was taken hand-held using a Leica D-Lux 3 and stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher.

Last year after I had received my GigaPan robot, I was fortunate to come upon the Sally Ride Science Festival and had taken a GigaPan (http://gigapan.org/gigapans/11021/). Today, I was again lucky and arrived to discover that this was the day for the 2009 Festival.

This panorama could easily become a big-time favorite of mine for it has lots to see... a good size moon rock, two solar telescopes and ...
