Hawaii Pacific University Modern Media Systems class on the Fort Street Mall in Downtown Honolulu. Question of the day: how can a collaboration that includes Carnegie Mellon University, NASA, GOOGLE, National Geographic, and faculty and students at Hawaii Pacific University expand our understanding of modern media systems? In other words, what emerging, unique potentials are being leveraged by these institutions and their communities in our network of networks project? In part this image constitutes an exploration and manifestation of image-making technologies that provide opportunities for meta-connectivity and global community building. A compelling aspect of the global connection project is its attention to transparency. Transparency of technology, transparency of process, and drill down ability in the composite image itself.. |

High resolution pan shot from the Alki Beach area across Elliott Bay. The vantage point from which this was shot is very close to that of an earlier pan. The season is different, and this one was shot through a telescope with a 1000mm focal length.
This pan focuses on the main skyline. To include more recognizable landmarks such as the Space Needle would have nearly doubled the size, processing time, and amount of manual intervention required. |

A GigaPan of the bookshelf in my office intended to highlight a bunch of my "deskcrops" (geologic specimens I have a fond attachment to) for The Accretionary Wedge #4 (http://www.goodschist.com/2007/12/02/the-accretionary-wedge-4-call-for-submissions/). Unfortunately I didn't have any good way to light the office for photography and thus the images are pretty grainy when you zoom in much. I also didn't use the full zoom capability of the camera in order to keep the stitch a reasonable size. |

This is a gigapan of the biggest Gigapan print I've done, on archival paper at a non-profit Pittsburgh coop called AIR - a wonderful place. This print is 42 inches by 17 feet. Thanks to Mary Jo for finding AIR and shepherding the printing process. |

This nearly 2 gigapixel panorana was created from 549 individual photographs that were taken over a period of 51 minutes with a Canon 20D and a 400 mm 5.6 lens atop of AutoMate, a motorized pano head from The Gadget Works. It was stitched with AutoPano Pro 64-bit version. The photographs were taken near Sunset Point on the rim of Bryce Canyon. There were very few people in the canyon on November 12, when this pano was taken, but there are a few visible on the rim. You can also see many of the trails that wend throgh the canyon. |

The Royal Gorge Bridge is a tourist attraction near Cañon City, Colorado, within a 360 acre (1.5 km²) theme park, hanging 1,053 feet (321 m) above the Arkansas River and billed as the highest suspension bridge in the world. The Royal Gorge Route Railroad runs under the bridge along the base of Royal Gorge. The bridge is 1260 feet (384 m) long and 18 feet (5 m) wide, with a wooden walkway with 1292 planks. The bridge is suspended from towers that are 150 feet (46 m) high.
The panorama is made of 480 pictures at focal length of 400mm. Due to file size limitations I have uploaded a smaller version only. Any commercial use or publication of the image, in whole or in part, without prior written authorization of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited. |

May I introduce Monica, a local artist with quite a personality.
I have been wanting to take this panorama for some time and finally had time to spend Saturday in San Antonio... little did I know that I would meet a very vibrant lady such as Miss Monica. As usual, this was taken with my Leica D-Lux 3 and as always, check out this gigapan in Google Earth via the GE link on the pano page. |
