This is a big gigapan I shot on Saturday evening. It's a huge Gigapan and took 16 hours to stitch. 47 images wide X 23 images tall totaling 1081 images.
I missed some of the balloons on the first pass so I backed the unit up and reshot a section. The lighter background in the sky was caused when I readjusted the exposure during shooting. The sun was setting fast and light was fading. EDS Credit Union Plano Balloon Festival - Plano, Texas - September 19 - 21, 2008 http://www.planoballoonfest.org/fest-facts.html Enjoy the "Lofty Visions" as 70 magnificent, colorful, hot air balloons fill the skies over Plano Friday at 6:00pm, Saturday at 7:00am and 6:00pm, and Sunday at 7:00am and 6:00pm (weather permitting). Fun for all ages, are the Special Shapes that attend the festival. This year, the special shapes include: High Jack, Miss Daisy, Pandy the Panda, Oggy the Dragon, and Woodrow C. Greenleaf. |

Addison Oktoberfest 2008 - September 18 - 21, 2008
I shot this yesterday evening on the first day of Addison's Octoberfest. It was still a little early so not many people are around. The guy in the suit with all the medals showed up after I shot the GigaPan so I backed the robot up and reshot him. My friend Joe has a new GigaPan also and we set his up and shot as well. You can see his gigapan unit on the far left. This GigaPan is 7 images high and 63 images wide, 441 total images. Tomorrow I shoot a Balloon Festival, so check back in a few days. Please bookmark this image if you like it or leave me a comment. http://www.addisontexas.net/events/Oktoberfest/ More than 60,000 fans of polka, German food and Paulaner Bier will gather in Addison?s spectacular Addison Circle Park for four days of music, folk dancing, sing-alongs, children?s entertainment and more. Addison?s four-day, authentic German festival is one of the largest Oktoberfest festivals outside of the famed Munich celebration. |

My dia de los muertos box; my first attempt at something quasi-narrative with mixed media in a gigapan. Memorializing anything sentimental in my closet resulted in the overwhelming but neccesarry amount of narcissim that went into this.
Some notes: There are also a few links to my videos and music embedded in the snapshots i've taken which help explain all the items on the wall, if you really want to get a sense for how the items all relate to one another. There's a lot of time-related photography/virtual reality/time items that I like to think give the viewer a sense of evaporating memories and time. There's also two of the same watch that relate to the process and allude to the fact that the photograph is composited from 120 individual photographs taken at different moments, creating an illusion of a precise moment that never actually occurred at all. In the next piece I do like this, I'm going to attempt to elicit the same idea with a drop of water caught in mid-air or a falling glass. |

Another view of my friend Roz's art studio. Canon G10 with Raynox DCR-1540 tele adapter. Auto-focus, .8 sec. .exposure, 6 sec. GigaPan delay seemed excessive. |
