This 360 panorama was taken at 2x33 to minimize edge effect. This was taken at the southeast corner of Buckingham Fountain on the last day of the taste of Chicago Festival, which ends on the 4th of July weekend. |

Goofing off yesterday afternoon I decided to test the lighting of doing a panorama indoors. So, I used my office as the test subject. The result is interesting - and not too bad for the first try. This was 350 pictures. I need to try the version with 1,100 pictures next. |

This is a panorama of our Haft-sin table captured some minutes before the beginning of the new solar year (1388).
You may like to watch the president's (Obama) message to the Iranian people about Nowruz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY_utC-hrjI _________________________________________________________________ Haft Sîn (Persian: هفت سین) or the seven 'S's is a major tradition of Nowruz, the traditional Iranian new year. Today the haft sin table includes seven specific items, all starting with the letter S or Sîn (س in the Persian alphabet). The items symbolically correspond to seven creations and holy immortals protecting them. Originally called Haft Chin (هفت چین), the Haft Sin has evolved over time, but has kept its symbolism. Traditionally, families attempt to set as beautiful a Haft Sîn table as they can, as it is not only of traditional and spiritual value, but also noticed by visitors during Nowruzi visitations and is a reflection of their good taste. The Haft Sin items are: 1. sabzeh(سبزه) - wheat, barley or lentil sprouts growing in a dish - symbolizing rebirth 2. samanu (سمنو)- a sweet pudding made from wheat germ - symbolizing affluence 3. senjed (سنجد)- the dried fruit of the oleaster tree - symbolizing love 4. sîr (سیر)- garlic - symbolizing medicine 5. sîb (سیب)- apples - symbolizing beauty and health 6. somaq (سماق)- sumac berries - symbolizing (the color of) sunrise 7. serkeh (سرکه)- vinegar - symbolizing age and patience ...

No1, of 4 so far, in series on Kruger National Park. To see series search for "kpseries".
The Kruger National Park is the largest game reserve in South Africa. The park lies in the east of South Africa, in the eastern parts of Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces. It is one of the largest national parks in the world, with an area of almost 20,000 km2. The park is approximately 360 km long, and has an average width of 65 km. At its widest point, the park is 90 km wide from east to west. Several rivers run through the park from west to east. An impala is a medium-sized African antelope. The name impala comes from the Zulu language. They are found in savannas and thick bushveld in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, northern Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, southern Angola, north-eastern South Africa and Uganda. Impala are among the dominant species in many savannas. They can adapt to different environment by being grazers in some areas and browsers in others. When frightened or startled the whole impala herd starts leaping about in order to confuse their predator. They can jump distances more than 10 meters (33 ft) and 3 meters (9 ft) high. Leopards, cheetah, Nile crocodiles, lions, spotted hyenas and wild dogs prey on impala. Impala can reach running speeds of around 80 to 90 km/h (50-55 mph). -----Wikipedia-- We spent 2 hours at this water hole, gigapan on the roof of the Isuzu Trooper next to the sun roof.
