GigaPans

The view of the bay outside Stackpole Quay (as we came back from the walk to Barafundle bay http://gigapan.org/gigapans/51265/ ) - Stackpole Quay itself is on the left (the big rock which can be seen is in the next bay along - http://gigapan.org/gigapans/51254/ ), the view is going north east up the Pembroke coast: Manorbier Castle can be seen as can the lighthouse on Caldey Island http://gigapan.org/gigapans/51444/ .

Pentax Kx, A 135 f2.8 (at f8).

I reshot the Emmons Glacier at a slightly different exposure in hopes of bringing out some of the glacial features that might have been overexposed in the larger Rainier Sunrise GigaPan: http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/31687/

Not the best lighting, but sometimes you have to take what you can get.

Stackpole Quay itself - related to Pembrokeshire pictures generally. This shot is focussed better on the closer things - impossible depth of field needed to deal with it, really - so its a bit blurrier than I'd have liked on things like the tea shop/ice cream parlour (top right) where we had Cowpots ice creams after visiting Barafundle bay http://gigapan.org/gigapans/51265/ . This shot was done from further along and higher up the same outcrop from which the bay to the north http://gigapan....

This is one of the few remaining wild, relatively undisturbed, lakes in the area. I was able to load the original large 6.45 GB image into Photoshop and adjust the brightness and crop the image more compared to the first upload of this image a few days ago. Apparently the tripod was not as level as it should be resulting in a curved Gigapan image. The footing where the tripd was set was marshy and the foot may have moved as the photos were taken. I feel lucky I was able to get this usable Gig...

Aargh, another Rainbow Bug bites! That's two really bad Rainbow Bug stitching errors (this one and Dantes View - http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/52231/) and they come on two of my most highly anticipated GigaPans. I'll forgo writing up a thorough description of this one until such time as I can get it to stitch properly. I'll give you this teaser, though - the story of capturing this GigaPan involves a bear... and not just Smokey on my hat (http://www.gigapan.org/conversations/...
