  4. The Swing

    The Swing by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Adrenaline Quarry by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    Difficult to put into words quite how nauseating this contraption was. The basic idea is a swing where on the outward part of the swing you go out over the edge of the quarry which sounds scary enough. But the really scary part is when they pull you up to the back of the swing - you go up level with the cross bar, so for a few moments you are held 20m off the ground looking straight down. A number of people who had done the zip wire screaming their heads off were completely slient on this ride and came off with ashen faces.

    Typical Chalet at Whitsand Bay by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan The English at Play IV by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    I wonder how much these sheds cost? I know beach huts can be fantastically expensive.

    Soccer Guy by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Sacre Cour by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    This guy had an impressive routine of keeping the ball off the ground (without using his hands). He could do all sorts of things like take his shirt off while keeping the ball in the air. At one point he climbed to the top of the lamp post whilst keeping the ball going.

    Three Icons in One Snapshot by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Eiffel Tower from Musée du Louvre by David Engle

    Where are the two statues? They look like they are on the same building.

    Roof Garden by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan L'Arc de Triomphe, Paris by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    I saw several of these whilst in Paris. This one was noteworthy because it seems to contain a mature tree. Where do the roots go?! Maybe it is just a cardboard cut-out.

  14. Best Service in Paris

    Best Service in Paris by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan L'Arc de Triomphe, Paris by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    Of the several companies running hop-on hop-off tours of Paris, I found this company offered the best deal. I really like these services because I find they are an excellent way of orienting myself when I arrive in a new city. Note to self: remember the effects of wind-chill!

  20. Hotel Louvre Sainte Anne

    Hotel Louvre Sainte Anne by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Boulanger Japonaise by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    Where we stayed. Small and friendly. Definitely recommended especially if you like Japanese food. One of the cheapest hotels in the centre of Paris - only 5 minutes walk from the Opera and the Louvre. There's a shot of the street outside the hotel here gigapan.com/gigapans/126175

  21. This is not Le Louvre

    This is not Le Louvre by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Andrea in Paris - The Louvre - 360-Degree Panorama by David Engle

    When people mentioned the Louvre to me this is what I think of - the pyramid and the building behind it. What I didn't realise is that the Louvre comprises the entire 360° of buildings you can see in this image - it is *enormous*.

    Innovative Cladding by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Place du Lieutenant Henri Karcher by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    This building is a regular office underneath the strange steel cladding. I like it. We should see more of this sort of thing.

    Japanese Restaurant by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan 360-Degree Pnorama of Pascal on Sainte-Anne in Paris, France by David Engle

    One of very many Japanese restaurants on this street. There is even a patisserie advertising "Japanese Specialities". Japanse pastries? I will have to investigate!

    Prior Park by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Fun at 0°C and 12800ISO by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    I think. Unfortunately the battery in my computer ran out before I could shoot the last column (to the left - I was shooting left-to-right).

    Bucolic Scene by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Fun at 0°C and 12800ISO by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    Well, alright, it is not exactly a Constable landscape or anything but it was this part of the scene that made me think there was an interesting shot to be had here.

    Ouch by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Self-Portrait by Proxy III a.k.a. Crime Scene IV by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    This print was part of an exhibition at the Holburne Museum in Bath (and attended by none other than Professor Illah Nourbakhsh no less) of art made by vulnerable adults. It cost £80 to print and some IDIOT got sellotape (Scotch tape) on it leaving this nice white line across the image.

    Hi-tech! by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Self-Portrait by Proxy III a.k.a. Crime Scene IV by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    Wow, this baby has an auto reverse tape deck. I really must get around to throwing this junk out. Although, if LPs are making a come-back maybe audio cassettes will too. Hey, this could be worth something - I had better hang on to it for another 30 years.

    Outdoor Gear by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Self-Portrait by Proxy III a.k.a. Crime Scene IV by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    This is where I keep my gear for outdoor gigapanning. A scrap of something warm and dry to sit on (the blue camping mat) and a Gigapan baseball cap are essential. Also featured here is, apparently, a pair of underpants - these are also often considered essential.

    Daylight! by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Self-Portrait by Proxy III a.k.a. Crime Scene IV by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    This gigapan was shot at night so that I didn't have to worry about the light changing during the time I was shooting. Unfortunately on the second of the three nights' shooting, I didn't notice that it was getting light at the front of the house. This explains the blueish stripe on the carpet. Grr.

    18% Grey Card by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Self-Portrait by Proxy III a.k.a. Crime Scene IV by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    Note to self: after going to the trouble of making yourself an 18% grey card to get the white balance correct, do not put it somewhere that it is illuminated from behind by a non-primary light source.

    Trusty old Robopan 3.1 by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Self-Portrait by Proxy III a.k.a. Crime Scene IV by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

    In a sad state of disrepair. I would like to get it working again but the software needs re-installing and the only computer I have that runs the installer - we are talking Windows 95 era here - is a 386 laptop in the attic (I think).

    Not sure what the buidling with the red light is, but I think the glow on the horizion here must be from the university campus.

    Lots of flag poles by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" from the GigaPan Academic Quad - Rice University - 360-degree Panorama by David Engle

    I wonder why there are so many. Perhaps they are used on a special occasion?
