Taken from Bluff Park.
This is my first serious attempt at using the Imager. It is the second panorama I have taken. Still need to read how to pause and back up to re-take a shot. |

Loca Arts "The Long Night" Craft Fair. The traders were not allowed to use mains electricity so the fair didn't intrude on the buildings facade.

This view of Long Beach, taken from Signal Hill, encompasses only a small segment of the view available. This was the largest expanse I could photograph without getting any light or utility poles in my shot. Visible are the Vincent Thomas and Gerald Desmond bridges, The Villa Riviera condominium ( a historic landmark), and more. |

This is my favorite place to eat or just hang out. I shot these images with a Canon G10 on a Gigapan Beta. Zoomed to 30.5 mm (140 mm equiv.) it took 48 photos in each of 3 rows to get around the 360 degrees. With 8 seconds at f/8 and ISO 100 plus the waiting time while the camera reduced noise I had to set the GigaPan to wait 24 seconds before moving to the next. Therefore you can see me waiting at the end of the bar, actually twice on both ends of the panorama... |

The Villa Riviera in Long Beach, CA, was designed by architect Richard B. King, and completed in 1929 by the firm Kinne & Westerhouse. It is one of Long Beach's most recognizable architectural landmarks, a 16-story French Gothic beauty. |

This panorama was taken mid january in Connetquot State Park near Islip, Nassau County on Long Island, New York State. A typical scene from Pine/Oak dominant forest, the meadow areas are mowed to retain openness. A part of the Pine Barrens ecotype, the normally dominant Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida) is becoming increasingly sparse as more shade tolerant deciduous trees and shrubs move in. The lack of regular fire events slows the re-establishment of the pine trees. Fire would clear out woody undergrowth and provide the open sunny conditions necessary for pine tree seeds to germinate. The soil is very sandy and lean but still supports a variety of ericaceous shrubs and number of oak species (Q. palustris, Q. velutina, Q. marilandica, Q. illicifolia, Q. stellata, Q. rubra, Q. alba, etc.) and other hardwoods. We also discovered good stands of Inkberry (Ilex glabra). We visited to collect Pitch Pine cones but were dismayed to find all the trees quite mature and tall with few younger more accessable trees. |
