The day that these were taken concludes Willy Week and the highlight are (1) the Beer Bike Parade, and (2) the Beer Bike Race. What we see in this scrapbook GigaPan are panoramas of the preparation to the Parade. The top two panoramas (illustrating peace and serenity, which is typically normal) were taken about 30 minutes before the College trucks pulled up prior to the Parade start. The third panorama was taken before the water balloons were placed on the truck, As soon as I finished taking this pano, the truck took the bikes to the stadiuim and then returned to load up the ballons. The fourth pano is that of the Rice Medical Corp who are there to treat wounds and save lives. We also see three trucks with students who hand out the water ballons to members of their Colleges who then try their best to assualt the other College students with these weapons of mass destruction. The remaining pano is that of the "vicious" security people who keep things under control. Later, another GigaPan will be U/L that will show actual photos of the Beer Bike Parade, which may be too *hot* for some.
Note: All of the above panoramas were taken with a Leica D-Lux 3, hand-held, and then stitched with the GigaPan Stitcher software and finally compiled as seen using PhotoShop CS.

This is the third in the series of Beer Bike 2009.
The first was of Beatrice taken during Willy Week: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=19298 The second was of the Beer Bike Parade Preparation: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=19833 As you can readily see, there is great fun at the parade. Each college has a truck and on each truck are thousands (maybe) of water balloons that are handed from the truck to the foot soldiers who run to other college students and throw the ballons, filled with water, at thier fellow classmates, who are not in that persons college. After the parade is over, all the students then go to a parking lot where the beer bike race occurs. |

The entire series can be seen here: http://tinyurl.com/y9edrjt What happens on this annual even is that you spend the school week trying to fix up your roommate with a blind date, and if successful, decide on a clothing theme. Then, come Friday evening, all meet in the Academic Quad to find their date based on the clothing theme. Great fun occurs and this one panorama is only a small taste as to what is to follow. There will be several of these panoramas U/L over the next week. All these photos are 300dpi, so zoom in and have a good time looking around to see what you can find. This collection of *panoramas* are similiar to the Beer Bike Parade *panoramas*: To see *portraits* taken at the Beer Bike Parade, click on this link: http://tinyurl.com/RiceUniversity-BeerBikeParade . These 300-dpi photographs were taken with a Nikon D-70 using a Nikkor 28-80 f/3.3-5.6 G lens and those in the second row were stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software. As it was close to sunset, most, if not all of the photographs were flash photos (SB-800 flash unit). The photos were assembled in PhotoShop on an old Mac G5, which was very time consuming, but well-worth the effort. |
