Can you find the number of miles of cable it took to build the bridge? Speed limit on the bridge? Alcatraz? |

This location in the regional preserve is North of Livermore California by about ten miles. It is about thirty miles from Berkeley California. The area is really rather remote for being so close to urban areas. It is great to have parks and hills. Mount Diablo is the peak that you see.
The image consited of 1600 images of 9 megapixels each to produce an image of 210,000 by about 20,000 pixels to make a 4 gigapixel image. There was a great deal of image overlap. It took two ales to complete the exposure of this image. It also took six days for my dual core to process this. |

The Sandpiper is a traditional bed and breakfast located on California’s North coast in Elk California. The rooms have a great view of a cove and the surf. A large and lush garden exists on the surf side with a bench or two. This is a fine place to watch the sunset and have a little wine. The rooms here are comfortable and traditional.

This is the view of Sunol Regional Wilderness from Goat Rock. It was a bit of a hike to get up there, and got into the 90s when we where there. My batteries did not like the heat any more than I did, it seemed.
You can see that it would be easy, but painful, to go down the steep side of this rock. This shot shows some old goats up on this rock: http://share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=21595 This shot shows the "easy way" to get to the top: http://share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=21452 I am not sure why there are some chunks missing - the sky seemed perfectly intact when I took the photos. Maybe I will figure this out an repost when I do. |

To the best of my knowledge this GigaPan is the world's first full gigapixel anaglyph image. In order to view the image in 3D you'll need a pair of red/blue anaglyph glasses (you may have a pair in your collection of National Geographic Magazines). Warning: although I've done what I could to minimize it, if you view this GigaPan at full zoom the image separation in some regions of this image may be more that your eyes can fully adjust to - zoom out a bit and save yourself the headache. For more information about anaglyph images see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_image If you enjoyed this anaglyph GigaPan you may also enjoy my other two anaglyph GigaPans: 1) Saline River Valley - http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=3527 2) Castle Rock Badlands - http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=12345 And another one: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=18692 I've also created lots of other non-anaglyph images: http://www.gigapan.org/viewProfile.php?userid=1252 Stitching Info (Left Camera): GigaPan Stitcher version 0.4.3510 (Windows) Panorama size: 1155 megapixels (64730 x 17849 pixels) Input images: 341 (31 columns by 11 rows) Field of view: 106.6 degrees wide by 29.4 degrees high (top=12.0, bottom=-17.4) Settings: Keep projected images Original image properties: Camera make: Canon Camera model: Canon PowerShot S5 IS Image size: 3264x2448 (8.0 megapixels) Capture time: 2008-12-20 11:55:28 - 2008-12-20 12:15:14 Aperture: f/4 Exposure time: 0.0015625 ISO: 80 Focal length (35mm equiv.): 435.8 mm Digital zoom: off White balance: Fixed Exposure mode: Manual Horizontal overlap: 35.7 to 42.0 percent Vertical overlap: 35.5 to 40.8 percent Computer stats: 3069.98 MB RAM, 2 CPUs Total time 3:13:59 (0:34 per picture) Alignment: 55:28, Projection: 16:31, Blending: 2:01:58 Stitching Notes (Right Camera): GigaPan Stitcher version 0.4.3510 (Windows) Panorama size: 1153 megapixels (64497 x 17892 pixels) Input images: 341 (31 columns by 11 rows) Field of view: 82.4 degrees wide by 22.9 degrees high (top=7.4, bottom=-15.5) Settings: Keep projected images Original image properties: Camera make: Canon Camera model: Canon PowerShot S5 IS Image size: 3264x2448 (8.0 megapixels) Capture time: 2008-12-20 11:56:00 - 2008-12-20 12:15:46 Aperture: f/4 Exposure time: 0.0015625 ISO: 80 Focal length (35mm equiv.): 435.8 mm Digital zoom: off White balance: Fixed Exposure mode: Manual Horizontal overlap: 35.5 to 40.2 percent Vertical overlap: 35.7 to 42.7 percent Computer stats: 3069.98 MB RAM, 2 CPUs Total time 2:53:38 (0:30 per picture) Alignment: 35:54, Projection: 16:42, Blending: 2:01:01 You can see a video of the dueling GigaPan units used to capture this anaglyph here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di0ug9x9ur8 Anaglyph creation completed in Photoshop CS3 following the general method detailed at: http://www.scec.org/geowall/makeanaglyph.html Placement in Google Earth is a compromise between the satellite imagery and the digital elevation model which are not currently well registered. |

A 360 degree rooftop view on a beautiful spring day in the Evergreen neighborhood of San Jose, CA, located in the foothills of the East Hills / Diablo Range. With the spring rains, the hills are briefly green before the summer turns them golden. In the distance, you can see across the South Bay to the Santa Cruz Mountains and just make out downtown San Jose through the haze. Quimby Road, the major street visible in the panorama, separates the older houses built in the 70's from the new construction in the 2000's, including Evergreen Valley High School, which all sits on land that was formerly vineyards (Mirassou Winery). |
