Lugano lies at the edge of Lake Lugano (Italian: Lago di Lugano or Ceresio), which is situated between the lakes Lago Maggiore and Lago di Como, south of the Alps.
The city is located where the river Cassarate enters the lake between the Brè (925m) and the San Salvatore (912m) mountains. This is a 180° view taken with 240mm lens |

This 2nd shot on this popular recreational location shows a lot of bathing and playing people. This time I only shot 231 photo's because I was afraid that too many loose limbs and twisted people would be show up due to the movement. Actually it wasn't too bad, I spend 3.5 hours to manipulate 25 photo's in such a way that the same playing or moving people would show up on surrounding photo's. I think the result is worth exploring ! Apart from water ripples I think I caught the most noticable stitching errors ! If you start on the right side you will find a waterski track with 2 skiers plowing away and 2 fallen ones wondering what to do next. Next you can find boys playing with a frisbee and others with a ball in the water. Further to the left you can find countless people sunbathing and swimming on the next 3 beaches. I stitched it on Mercator projection so that I can stretch it as an impressive sample on Canvas from Kodak (330 ppi input resolution on 600 dpi print of 1 by 6 meter). The first shot on this location is composed of 414 photo's and will be normally projected and geocoded so that you can see it on Google Earth ! It may take me a while to correct the gosts and twisted people on that 1775 Megapixel shot, so please check back later. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

This is a High Mountain Lake located in the Island Park area in Idaho close to Yellowstone National Park. It is one of the Headwaters for the Henry's Fork of the Snake River and a famous fishing lake.
Surface elevation is 6472 feet (1973 m). This Gigapan was taken from the top of Sawtell Peak, south of the Lake. Peak elevation is 9869 feet ( 3008 meters) Shot with a Nikon D5000 and 300 mm lens. Note! My batteries in the Gigapan Epic 100 ran out of juice halfway through shooting this scene. I replaced the batteries and continued shooting, however, I noticed some abberations in the middle part of the Gigapan when processing. I believe some images in this section are missing, but I have cleaned it up look "OK.". Has anyone taking Gigapans had a similar experience of losing the previous Gigapan shot location when changing batteries? If I had known this might happen I should have started shooting the Gigapan again from the beginning. As it is I wish I had used a 200 mm lens to capture the mountain range above the lake. |
