This was the site of the Fine Outreach For Science Gigapan workshop. 25 scientists and science journalists were invited to the workshop to learn how to use Gigapan and see demonstrations of how Gigapan can be used in various research activities. The reception at the end of the first workshop was held in the Carnegie Music Hall Foyer, a beautiful space built in the 1890s. Thanks to the Fine foundation for making this possible!
You can see another Gigapan of this reception here: http://share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=23802 Camera settings - I used an SX110 to get this shot. The light level was pretty low, so I had an exposure time 1.6", with focus manually set to about 5 meters out. I lowered my F-stop to 5.0 from my typical 8.0, giving up a little depth of field for a shorter exposure time. ISO was 80, though I probably could have gone to 100 or 200 to shorten exposure time even more. I used a 2 second timer on the camera so that the image was taken only 2 seconds after the button pusher pushed the shutter button; with this exposure I needed to set the time per pic on the Gigapan to about 10 seconds/shot (so the total image took 20 minutes). The static parts of the image came out very crisp, so I'm very happy with this. Naturally, most people don't stay still for 1.6 seconds, so people are in varying stages of blurriness depending on how much they moved. |

Just down the road from "The Trainwreck", this is another roadcut through marble in the Adirondack Lowlands east of Gourvernour, NY. The "Steer's Head" is located left of center and there are more boudinage features in the marble further to the right.
Can you spot Edi and Berti? |

Large panorama of a roadcut near Gouverneur, NY known as "The Trainwreck". There are remarkable boudinage features in this high-grade marble that mark the train cars scattered off the track. |

This is a detail of the boudinage located just right of center in the "Steer's Head" roadcut in the Adirondack Lowlands east of Gourvernour, NY. |

This is the roadcut facing the more famous "Snake" locality. There are ductile deformation features to be seen in this view as well. |

This low roadcut located opposite the "Steer's Head" cut preserves well defined glacial striations produced during the waning stages of the Wisconsinan Ice Age. |

Even though I spent the first 19 years of my life within 15 miles of this building, I never got a good picture of it, nor did know what was inscribed above the entrance, extracted from the founding charter of the British Colony of Rhode Island in 1663: "To hold forth a lively experiment, that a most flourishing civil State may stand and best be maintained, with a full liberty of religious concernments." It was completed in 1904. On top of the dome (4th largest marble dome in the world) is a gold-covered bronze statue of Independent Man, originally named "Hope." The statue, weighing more than 500 pounds (230 kg), is 11 feet (3.4 m) and stands 278 feet (85 m) above the ground.
