A working Lithography studio for members of the Honolulu Printmakers Workshop, and for students at the Honolulu Academy Art Center. (35C x 20R)
You can sure tell it's used frequently!
My first try at a spherical gigapan (or nearly so). It looks great as a sphere in the stitcher, but, once uploaded to gigapan.org, loses the spherical shape in the GigaPan viewer. Viewed in Google Earth, though, the spherical nature of the gigapan is again evident. I could not geolocate the gigapan so it was inside the building, so it's geolocated at the address of the Honolulu Academy of Arts - Academy Art Center. I'll fix it later. :^\

A tough panorama - used 650 mm equivalent, Canon S5-IS, full zoom plus 1.5X tele extender, on an Epic-100.
Image order-rows from top down.
Manual focus
2 second shutter delay
A light breeze began towards the end of the shoot - notice the fuzzy reflection towards the bottom of the image.

The dogwood (Cornus sp.) were in full flower on Memorial Day. This one in particular just called out for gigapanning. There are a few autofocus issues, but overall, I like it.

Another gigapan from Point Panic to monitor the building craze along the Ala Moana Boulevard corridor leading into Waikiki. The Hilton Hawaiian Village (with the Rainbow Towers) is at the western end of Waikiki; you can't really see Waikiki Beach from my vantage point.
I exported this image to .raw, cropped and corrected it, then saved as a .tif to upload.
This is my first gigapan with the Epic-100 and my Olympus E-510. I'll remake this one with another lens and another camera to compare image quality. I'm not too happy with the lack of sharpness in this image. That would be my problem for using manual focus without my glasses on. :^(

A duplicate site to study water flow, seepage, and soil erosion in an area under severe browsing pressure by flocks of feral ungulates, especially goats. The trenches were dug to analyze root density, and to determine the soil binding properties associated with different root structure.

First follow up image inside the browsing protected area since the initial documentation of 1 Dec 2008. There is noticable plant regrowth. More visits will occur every 6 months or so to keep track of the vegetation difference between inside and outside the feral ungulate exclosure. The meters shown monitor water runoff, water infiltration, and silt runoff.

The photo series on the left shows the life cycle of the Haleakala silversword, _Argyroxiphium sandwicense_, an endemic member of the "Silversword Alliance", a group of three genera and about 28 species of plants in the sunflower family. The main part of the wall shows the steps in making one full color photoetching of Silversword flowers.
