GigaPans

It is not just a big picture, is a moment of country life, with people, architecture and vegetation that make what is San Pellegrino Terme

Images gipan always arouse fascination and amazement, but unfortunately the images are devoid of content or do not add significant than the classic shot, I think that this technique should be a means, not an end.
Making an image gigapan, just to make it big, it's a waste of time and resources.
Making unnatural postcards to 180 ° can be used to crea...

This is my first Gigapan that I have attempted. It was taken from the peak of Squaw Mountain. Before leaving I had no idea how hard it would be to make the hike with my Manfroto tripod, 7D, 70-200 lens and the Gigapan Epic Pro. I was freeeezing during the setup and 37 minutes of picture taking. Something I suspected was that there would be a variation in ambient light as the sun was setting. Because it was so cold and I was alone on top of a mountain I thought it not prudent to wait much longer ...

Ever since I saw miao's GigaPan of "A city near Route 80" (http://www.gigapan.org/alpha/gigapans/15148/) I've been salivating at the chance to get back to Garrett Mountain to shoot a massive GigaPan from the same vantage point. The spot is very well suited for GigaPanning - an overlook with an unobstructed view and plenty of detail that ought to be highly explorable. What more could I ask for?

Better weather. Unfortunately the day that I finally got out there to shoot t...

How many cacti can you find in this GigaPan? (Species, if not individual cactus plants.) Points for the most original cactus and caption. Perhaps a biologist could actually use this for some sort of genuine scientific cactus count?

Next, find the hikers.

And maybe someone lucky will find the jackrabbit...

Roaring Brook on Giant Mountain in the Adirondacks holds a special place in my heart because it was the site (a bit further upstream) of my first geology research project, undertaken as an undergrad at Colgate University. The falls occur where the hanging valley of Roaring Brook joins the main valley of the Auasble River. At this location Roaring Brook has carved its path down into a meter-wide mafic dike and with the low flow the day I visited it hardly seems capable of clearing such a wide s...

Originally intended to be about twice as wide, my Gigapan Beta unit contracted the deadly Whirling Dervish/Spiral of Death disease upon completing column number 38. (Fear not, it's fixed now - a relatively low tech solution, I simply "unwound" the robot. Aaahh, the joys of Beta testing!)

Nonetheless, the resulting image is a compelling look at the Weber Sandstone which is folded into an anticline (south limb visible in the gigapan) that is cleaved by the downcutting Green Riv...

Taken with a 500mm mirror lens, which has excessive vignetting unfortunately. But the details is really good!
