This hand-held 360-degree panorama encompasses a vista containing to the east, Founders Court, Lovett Hall and across the Academic Quad to Pitman Tower, which is a part of the Humanities Building. Pitman Tower, Lovett Hall and the Sallyport can all be seen in numerous panoramas on gigapan.org. This hand-held panorama was taken with a Leica D-Lux 3 camera and was stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software. Additional details can be found on Stitcher Notes with information there concerning the GigaPan Stitcher run. Note: This gorgeous panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth (assuming that you have Google Earth installed on your computer). |

Does anyone see anything to study in this area? Oops! I see that I touched a "how stupid can you be" nerve...so I found the following: "long-term monitoring and ecological study of the Devereux Slough ecosystem. Devereux slough, located at the University managed Coal Oil Point Reserve (Sands Beach) is a seasonally flooded coastal wetland. During the past fifty years, expanding agricultural and urban development has significantly altered the slough system. Such alterations have caused an increase in sedimentation to the system, an increase in water temperature and a decrease in dissolved oxygen. To investigate the changes in slough parameters, this study focuses on invertebrate and fish species diversity and abundance, hydrological characteristics such as bathymetry, oxygen, salinity and temperature measurements and nutrient inputs."

The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of PIttsburgh holds its annual retreat each fall at the Pymatuning Laboratory of Ecology in Linesville PA. During the retreat students and postdocs present aspects of their research in a poster session, which is held outside at the housing site when the weather is nice. The housing site is on the shore of Pymatuning lake - the distant shore in the background is in Ohio.

This is a picture of the Admissions Building at Acadia University lovingly referred to as the castle. Built by a sugar baron in the 1800s, Teejay Green had his wedding here. It's purdy. |

Since this was Wednesday, this must have been taken on the campus of Rice University (I had just been to Fondren Library), and had my new camera lens with me and wanted to test taking a 360 with it and even though there were too many clouds; well, it was only to be a test. As I approached the center of the Engineering Quad, a student walked by and I asked her if she wanted to be in this GigaPan, but she was on the way to class. She recognized me as I had taken portraits of her at a campus costume party a few days before (soon to be uploaded to gigapan.org). As she was leaving, Alicia came up to me and asked if I was Donald. It seems that she had won an employee award and was going to have her photo taken by the Engineering Department photographer whose name was Donald. To make a long story very short, in this GigaPan, we see Donald taking a few snaps of Alicia. In this panorama, we see the three famous slabs of granite (http://tinyurl.com/RiceUniversity-EngineeringQuad), Keck Hall (http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/8855/) and Duncan Hall (http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/9622/). This hand-held 360-panorama was taken by my trusty Nikon D70 with a new lens, the Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G. Additional details can be found on Stitcher Notes with information there concerning the GigaPan Stitcher run. Note: This panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a beautiful 360-degree curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth (assuming that you have Google Earth installed on your computer). |

This panorama compliments an earlier GigaPan of this area, the one of paint-shop Richard: http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/36672/
This hand-held panorama taken from the southwest corner of Baker Institute shows a geologist with her friends and family. Also, a segment of the Berlin Wall can be seen as well. This 17-photo, 360-degree panorama was taken hand-held using a Leica D-Lux 3 and stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher. Note: This panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth (assuming that you have Google Earth installed on your computer). |
