This is a "time lapse snapshot" of a disc golf tournament in Huntington Beach, California. Disc golf is like regular golf, but uses frisbees instead of balls and clubs. The holes are metal baskets with chains designed to catch the discs. For more info, check out www.pdga.com.
For this panorama, I took shots of many different players driving, putting, and walking the course over a 2 hour period. Then I overlayed the action shots on the gigapan image, creating what I'm calling a "time lapse snapshot" of the final round (18 holes) of the open division at the tournament. |

This first shot on this popular recreational location is less crowded with moving people then the smaller second shot which has been shown earlier. Therefore this shot of 414 photo's was actually not showing so much loose limbs and twisted people due to the movement. I had to spend 1.5 hours to manipulate 7 photo's in such a way that the same moving people would show up on all surrounding photo's.
Apart from water ripples the most noticeable stitching errors could be corrected ! Although this Gigapan is showing less people to explore, it still is worthwhile because this photo turned out a bit sharper focused then the other one. If you start to zoom in on the right side you will find a water-ski track with 2 skiers plowing away. Further to the left you can find many people sunbathing and swimming on the next 3 beaches. This Gigapan could actually be printed on 300 ppi resolution and stretched on Canvas from Kodak ( 9 meter ). |

This 2nd shot on this popular recreational location shows a lot of bathing and playing people. This time I only shot 231 photo's because I was afraid that too many loose limbs and twisted people would be show up due to the movement. Actually it wasn't too bad, I spend 3.5 hours to manipulate 25 photo's in such a way that the same playing or moving people would show up on surrounding photo's. I think the result is worth exploring ! Apart from water ripples I think I caught the most noticable stitching errors ! If you start on the right side you will find a waterski track with 2 skiers plowing away and 2 fallen ones wondering what to do next. Next you can find boys playing with a frisbee and others with a ball in the water. Further to the left you can find countless people sunbathing and swimming on the next 3 beaches. I stitched it on Mercator projection so that I can stretch it as an impressive sample on Canvas from Kodak (330 ppi input resolution on 600 dpi print of 1 by 6 meter). The first shot on this location is composed of 414 photo's and will be normally projected and geocoded so that you can see it on Google Earth ! It may take me a while to correct the gosts and twisted people on that 1775 Megapixel shot, so please check back later. |
