This is a 360 degree Panorama of the Aumndsen-Scott South Pole Station, South Pole Antarctica.
This was taken on 7-28 during the afternoon at a temperature of around -90F with a windchill of -130F. The moon in the shot was only a slight crescent but is incredibly bright. When the moon is not around we are surrounded by total darkness, unless we happen to be graced by a beautiful aurora! I was lucky enough to catch this nice aurora along with the moon. The moon is so bright down here that it mutes out the sky, making shots of stars quite difficult. I have to move very fast while taking photos down here as my batteries freeze quite quickly and even my tripod freezes and no longer will rotate... Normally I keep a headlamp with me, but this time I had forgotten it while in a rush to capture the dissipating aurora, so had to shoot with whatever I had last set the camera at, and had to hope i didn't bump the rings since i wouldn't be able to see to change anything. Unfortunately while walking out to this point to take the photos I bumped the focal ring on the lens and ever so slightly causing the pictures to bit out of focus, but the pano was so beautiful I couldn't just toss it. These images were taken with a Canon EOS-1D Mark II at 16mm, f-stop 2.8 for 30 second exposures. *edit: You can see each of the constellations drawn in over the skyline here: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=31101 |

This is a 290° panorama of Munich at night. I made the pictures on top of the Olympia tower (Olympiaturm). http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=6017
The viewing platform is around 195m above ground and you have a great view over the city. Due to strong winds I had some problems to get sharp images. 80 pictures at ISO 800, F4, focal length at 120mm. You can compare this image with the panorama I took during some other day. http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=10127 |

This otherwise spectacular view is unfortunately spoiled by either motion of the camera, or possibly the image stabilization in the camera. I will experiment, unfortunately this shooting location is no longer available.

The classic grande dame of hotels in Hong Kong, The Peninsula, at night. Some minor pausing was involved because of cars coming up to the driveway and dropping off / collecting passengers, but I still managed to chop off one of the Rolls-Royce Phantoms that are the signature of the Peninsula - the hotel has been using Rolls as their hotel car since the 80s, and the color is a unique shade of green that Rolls-Royce only uses for cars going to the Peninsula. |

We shot this from Mt. Washington, looking down at The Point (where the Monongahela & Allegheny Rivers join to form the Ohio), from which the fireworks were launched. Our panorama includes glimpses of the crowds at The Point and in the Northside (near the stadiums).
We shot two panoramas in quick succession and chose selected images from each set to put this mosaic together. Including the crowd around us in the picture turned out to be a good decision, I think. Photography: Randy Sargent. Image composition and gigapan lugging: Paul Heckbert. Stitcher supervision: Goutham Mani. Mask photo editing: Mary Jo Knelly.

This is the same as my other pano with the exception that the good South Pole doc (grannydoc) went to the trouble of drawing in each of the constellations that are visible in the sky. You can see the same pano without the stars drawn in at my other pano:
