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.

Other recent panoramas of Keck Hall can be seen here: http://www.gigapan.org/searchGigapansList.php?ids=42391,42388,42395

This GigaPan is now in a series of three GigaPans: http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/most_popular/?q=salem+church

Every year, the Sunday before Thanksgiving, one of the churches in Braes Interfaith Ministries* host the Community Thanksgiving Service, and this year it was held in the new Sanctuary of Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church.

I attended this very special service and I can only say that it was perfection and I wished that the 90-minute service could have been repeated. It was...

While on my usual expedition to Fondren Library, I met these two incredible ladies in Brochstein and spent a *most* enjoyable time showing them the sights around the campus and moments before we parted, we took this GigaPan of a very special moment-in-time on this wonderful day. And the view in Google Earth via the link is spectacular :)

In the second frame, Christina moved too fast for the camera shutter ... maybe it too was mesmerized by this scene un-folding before us:)

After the abov...

This statue is located in Sesquicentennial Park, and is located directly across Buffalo Bayou from an earlier GigaPan taken of James A. Baker III, his Secrectary of State (http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/65116/)

Also, in this panorama we see Jacob and Shaun skateboarding their way down the hill. They came back to tell me that this was the first time...

This panorama is my answer to Kilgore's GigaPan, The View From Above, http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=7536. It is not as *grand* as his, but then Houston, Texas is not Bath, England.

Hand-held panorama of the Houston skyline comprised of 44 photos taken in a brisk wind, using a P&S camera, the SX110.

Note: at the altitude of a six-story parking garage, the wind velocity was enough that this panorama could not have been accomplished had I not used image stablization sinc...

This was a very enjoyable effort and the results are most rewarding. It was a pleasure working with Maggie and Renuka and this GigaPan glows since it is one of my most often viewed panoramas.

The location can be seen from an earlier gigapan: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=6655

An experiment to determine the Leica D-Lux 3 depth of field. The camera lens was two feet or less from the granite stone and was shot at f/8. Thanks to Leica lens design: depth of focus extends from the...

Tudor Fieldhouse, the home of Autry Court is shown in this panorama. As I was taking it, Heather, a Rice Grad Student, walked by and was a good sport about participating in the pano and at the same time, a Construction Crew returned to their truck and became willing participants too.

As always, viewing in Google Earth via the link, adds a lot of visual excitement.

It was a cloudy day and rain was coming in from the west, but all-in-all, a good view of the Tudor Field House prior to openin...

Thus should really be called, "Play on Light," for there are colors, and different zones and some tones and shadows and bright to intense sunlight and even reflections, not to mention some cool looking architecture and granite slabs that you won't find anywhere else ... its got everything!

I was there to capture the sunlit door, the east door going into the chemistry building, Keck Hall. This time of the year, to see the golden color of the door, you have to be there early and ...
