If this pano looks a little low, it's because the GigaPan blurred all the top-row images despite the use of the 2-sec self-timer. Let me know if anyone has a fix for this.

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. Canon G10 with Raynox DCR-1540 tele adapter, giving an effective 35mm focal length of 219mm. |

The view from the roof terrace of Megan's condo. It's missing quite a bit on the right side. I paused the GigaPan while a cloud cleared out and it shut itself off. Even though it allowed me to resume the pano when I started it again, the new photos did not align with the rest of the pano. I'll try again another time. Canon G10 with Raynox tele accessory lens, giving an effective 35mm focal length of 219mm. 1 second GigaPan delay between pictures. |

Special State Fair foods are a big part of the experience for most Minnesotans. Roast corn on a stick is very popular, as you'll see here, but there is a huge variety of foods. How many kinds can you find? This pano was taken from the grandstand with Canon G10 and Raynox tele auxiliary lens. Its 35mm equivalent is 219mm. |

Lake Harriet is a heavily-used urban lake in Minneapolis, part of a chain of lakes that stretches through the city to the Mississippi River.
This is also a test of the Raynox DCR-1540 tele adapter. The extra weight in front of the camera makes the GigaPan Epic jerk from one position to the next. It appears, however, that with a 3.5 sec. time between pictures the jerking is not a problem.

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!
