I tried to make a panorama with pictures zoomed in at 300mm with a DSLR camera without a tripod.
It's a little over 100 megapixels. I don't realy like the colors and the angle of this picture, but hey: it was my first test with zoomed in pictures. :-) |

The property and yellow buildings of the Bread Loaf Campus were bequeathed to Middlebury College by Joseph Battell in 1915 (the white buildings are more recent). Since 1920, this campus has been home to the Bread Loaf School of English, which offers summer graduate courses and an MA degree. In 1926, the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference began operation here. Most of the buildings are vacant except in the summer months.
Elevation: 440 m (1440 ft), Camera location from GPS: N43 57.188 W73 59.550 Notes: I used a Nikon D40 with a Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 AI-s lens at f/11, 1/320 second, ISO 200, NEF. 35mm equiv is 450mm, and field of view was set to 3.1 degrees. Focus was manually adjusted many times. Two second shutter delay was initiated by wireless remote. Lightroom was used to remove vignetting before outputting jpegs for stitching. |

In 1861, Joseph Battell remodeled a farmhouse into an inn (in distance left of center) which became a successful summer getaway and was incrementally enlarged during his lifetime. Today the inn and surrounding buildings are part of Middlebury College’s Bread Loaf Campus where the Bread Loaf School of English and Bread Loaf Writers' Conference take place each summer. During his life, Battell bought 40,000 acres in Vermont, and left much of it to Middlebury College in 1915. Most of this land was subsequently transferred to the Green Mountain National Forest and to the state of Vermont. The college still owns the land used for its Nordic and alpine ski areas and the Bread Loaf Campus.
Elevation: 440 m (1440 ft), Camera location from GPS: N43 57.199 W72 59.570 Notes: I used a Nikon D40 with a Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 AI-s lens at f/11, 1/400 second (lowest rows at 1/320 sec), ISO 200, NEF. 35mm equiv is 450mm, and field of view was set to 3.4 degrees. Focus was manually adjusted many times. Two second shutter delay was initiated by wireless remote. Lightroom was used to remove vignetting before outputting jpegs for stitching. Abundant misalignment errors may be due to insufficient overlap among photos, and/or to manually adjusting the focus. |

This is a repeat of http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=28840 with improved optical technology (a 25 year old lens bought on ebay).
Notes: Photos were taken with an old Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 AI-s lens (450mm equiv.) at f/16, 1/60 second, ISO 200, More Vivid, NEF. Lightroom was used for devignetting (+6, 25), vibrance (+20), and saturation (+20). |

Looking west toward the Adirondack Mountains and the Palisades on the New York side of Lake Champlain. This is the lake's steepest, most pristine, and maybe most picturesque stretch of shoreline. The sheer cliffs extend 100 feet above the water, and another 140 feet below it. This morning saw the first frost for most of the Champlain Valley, and a layer of cold air over the warmer lake water created the conditions for a mirage (cooler, denser air above warmer air). The mirage is evident where the shoreline is most distant.
Notes: I used a Nikon D40 with a Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 AI-s lens at f/8, 1/500 second, ISO 200, NEF. 35mm equiv is 450mm. Two second shutter delay initiated by wireless remote. Field of view set to 3 degrees. Photos were de-vignetted and punched up a bit before stitching. |

This was a quickly taken stitch from Wormit bay in Fife Scotland, really just to see if my new (old) 300mm lens was any good. Looks like it is. Dundee is one Scotlands oldest cities and per head of capita both it's most inbred; most intelligent and finally the European home of the highest teenage pregnancy rate in the world. The rail bridge constructed in 1888 following the demise of the original bridge is as you can see clearly in constant repair as gangs work palendromically to paint and maintain the structure. |
