GigaPans

A beautiful evening at the 2009 Bristol balloon fiesta saw over 90 balloons launched from Ashton Park. Great to see the piper flying again after many years.

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.

Addison Oktoberfest 2008 - September 18 - 21, 2008

I shot this yesterday evening on the first day of Addison's Octoberfest. It was still a little early so not many people are around. The guy in the suit with all the medals showed up after I shot the GigaPan so I backed the robot up and reshot him. My friend Joe has a new GigaPan also and we set his up and shot as well. You can see his gigapan unit on the far left. This GigaPan is 7 images high and 63 images wide, 441 total images. Tomorr...
