This Nano Gigapan is of the front view of the ants head. It is magnified 600x using a scanning electron microscope. The ant was given to us to image by Brian Fisher, an Entomologist at the California Academy of Sciences. This Nano Gigapan is composed of 143 pictures. This Gigapan is part of the NanoGigaPan project. Which is working to take high resolution images of very small things.

A picture of Artist's Pallette in Death Valley, CA. I've calculated this at around 45 megapixels, and was stitched together by hand in Photoshop. |

A healthy number of stitching errors, unfortunately... this is a 36-image (3 row) 360 degree panorama shot along Colton Ave. in Redlands, California on October 18, 2007.
At 290 megapixels, it's one of the largest pans I've ever put together. |

This creek runs though a park just South of Livermore Caliifornia. The creek provides a rich habitat for herrons, hawks, bobcats, coyotes, squirrels, catfish and trout. It is nice to live in a town having advanced technologies, fine parks, wineries, and a rich natural habitats all in close proximity. Don't let people trick you into thinking that you can't have busnesses AND a nice enviroment - you can have both! However, getting both great depth of field and sufficient dynamic range is an ongoing issue.... |
