Zoltan and I set up our robots and cameras and while taking our second set of panoramas this day at Rice at Jamail Plaza, discovered Heather, a philosophy student, who was very happy to be included in this Gigapan, which has to be seen in Google Earth via the link.
Behind Heather is: James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy Rice University To see Zoltan's version of this panorama, click on: http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=13647 In my collection of Rice panoramas, there is another GigaPan, taken last August before Hurricane Ike: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=7767 NOTE: On the home page, a link can be found, "Browse Gigapans in Google Earth..." Clicking on that will d/l a file called gigapan.kml and then clicking on that file will then open GE and load all geocoded GigaPans, which allows you to see all the GigaPans from all over the world including all the ones that have been taken on the campus of Rice University. Once the loading process is completed, "fly to" Rice University. |

Since this pano is so wide-angle, it has to be seen in Google Earth. |

Poor light conditions.

This weekend is homecoming weekend at Rice and regardless of all the scheduled events taking place on campus, a number of us were drawn to the Jamail Plaza to see its dramatic fountain on this beautiful November morning.
Jamail Plaza and its fountain is located to the north of James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy or simply, Baker Institute. Last year, in this plaza, we found Heather finding peace and serenity in the Jamail Courtyard in front of Baker Institute: http://gigapan.org/gigapans/13445/ as well as Saskia and Cristina as they attempted to tackle the economy: http://gigapan.org/gigapans/15381/ This hand-held panorama was taken with a Canon SX110 camera and was stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software. Additional details can be found on Stitcher Notes with information there concerning the GigaPan Stitcher run. Note: This gorgeous panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth (assuming that you have Google Earth installed on your computer). |

235 pics, 6x zoom with 2x telephoto converter = 12x zoom, f8, ISO200, 1/200 shutter, UV filter.
I should have stepped down to ISO 100! I think this is about as much detail as I am going to be able to squeeze out of my Canon A700 There was a lot of overlap on the pics, I set the field of view to 3.9 degrees on the gigapan, but should have gone with the next step up which was 4.3. As a result I lost about half of each pic to stitching. Same spot as the night panorama I posted before, I will add geo-tags at a later date Hope you enjoy! |

This Berlin Wall segment resides at the southeast corner of James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy.
In this panorama, we see Richard, a Rice University employee doing his job and I might add, cheerfully. Last year, at the opposite corner, we found Heather finding peace and serenity in the Jamail Courtyard in front of Baker Institute: http://gigapan.org/gigapans/13445/ This hand-held 360-degree panorama was taken with a Leica D-Lux 3 and was stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software and additional details can be found on Stitcher Notes with information there concerning the GigaPan Stitcher run. Note: This gorgeous panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth (assuming that you have Google Earth installed on your computer). |
