GigaPans

This GigaPan was shot early in the morning from the Windy Ridge viewpoint in the eastern portion of Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. At 1900 input images it took two hours to shoot and almost a full day to stitch on my brand new workstation. But the result is all I had hoped for and more. Now that I've finally broken the ten gigapixel barrier, I'm eager to push the outside of the envelope even further...

Access to the stones is limited to small groups early on mornings of certain days; Sunday (28/09/08) was one of those days.

This is an 8 shot handheld pano, stitched with PTGui taken at 8AM (looking slightly north of east) using a Canon 40D.

We live about 45 minutes from the henge so in trying to get the family out of the house and then be there by a specified time we were concerned about the impact that the fog would have on the travel *and* whether we would actually be able to see anyt...

Woke up early for this one. The east side of LA is covered in light while the middle of Hollywood and Koreatown remain dim.

This is a compostion made up of 10 captures from a Nikon D700. The photos were shot with a Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR lens.

In the photo, you can spot East LA, Echo Park, Silver Lake, Mount Washington, Hollywood, Koreatown, and Downtown Los Angeles.

On the horizon, to the southwest, you can see Long Beach, the Port of Los Angeles, and San Pedro, including the Vinc...

One could wonder what I was doing up at sunrise, but that would be an indelicate question.

This is a small gigapan I shot on saturday morning. I have another from saturday evening with thousands of people in it. It's a huge GigaPan and is taking a very long time to stitch.

This GigaPan was shot early in the morning from the Windy Ridge viewpoint in the eastern portion of Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. It's remarkable to me that nearly 30 years later there are still massive rafts of floating timber felled by the eruption covering wide areas of Spirit Lake.
