A view down Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis. Block E on the left is a major urban redevelopment project that turned a blighted city block into an entertainment complex. You'd have thought they'd have found a more exciting name for it. The Masonic temple was completed in 1890 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is now used as a teaching and performance space by the Hennepin Center for the Arts. The pano also shows the construction of the new Twins stadium and the historic Shubert Theater, which was moved to its present site -- all 2900 tons of it -- in 1999, one of the heaviest buildings ever moved http://science.howstuffworks.com/heaviest-building-moved1.htm. The photo was made with a Canon G10 and a Raynox DCR-1540 1.54X auxiliary lens, giving an effective 35mm focal length of 219mm. |

Before I packed the holiday decorations away, I thought I'd better photograph them. I've done some tests and a 5-second camera exposure requires an amazing 13-second GigaPan delay while the camera does dark-field subtraction and writes the image to the card. This panorama took 59 minutes, during which time night brightened into day. |

Panorama taken from the observation deck of the Foshay Tower. I had to clamp the GigaPan to a railing above my head, forcing me to level the panorama by eye. I didn't do too badly, considering. At the same spot in every column, the GigaPan would snap and give a lurch, causing me to flinch. I had visions of the whole thing tumbling 30 stories and killing someone.

The day after Halloween, most houses still have their decorations up. These people created a crowded graveyard. I wish I'd seen it at night!

A world away from the chaos of the rest of the fair, the finalists in the women's amateur horsemanship competition come forward to receive their awards.

The Mississippi is mostly ice-free right now, but this backwater has filled with ice floes. This is a false-HDR pano from single Canon RAW source photos. They were batch processed in Photomatix, then massaged in Photoshop. |

A few grain elevators remain within the city limits. This one is in the Midway area, near my studio.
