An Easter Egg hunt on my front porch. There are three dozen eggs 'hidden', as well as two Easter bunnies, two Mainzelmännchen, one Eeyore, one Rubber Duckie, and if you look really closely you'll find the reflection of the photographer pointing to one of the hidden eggs.
Happy Easter and Happy Hunting!!! [Permission for media use is hereby granted.] |

This is a thin section of dunite, a rock made up almost entirely of the mineral olivine, as seen in cross-polarized light through a Leica Z6 APO Macroscope. There is a band of black mineral grains to the left of center of the image that is a cumulate layer of the mineral chromite - in the magma chamber from which these minerals crystallized that band of chromite would have originally settled out in a horizontal layer. The width of the entire field of view visible here is just under 2 cm.
Unlike most of my GigaPans I didn't have help from the robot on this one. The thin section was moved by hand and the images were shot one by one. In fact, the stitch took far less time than the capture. Nonetheless it was well worth the effort - and the kind of task that is ideally suited to undergraduate/graduate students! :-) |

The Key to the city is the symbol of Bremen. There should be at least three in this picture - could you find them? :-)
One snapshot I already added. Am Marktplatz stehen (von links) neben dem Bankhaus und dem Eingang zur Bötcherstraße der Schütting, einige Giebelhäuser und das Bremer Rathaus; rechts ist noch die Ecke der Bremer Bürgerschaft zu erkennen. Auf dem Markplatz, vor dem Rathaus steht der Roland. From left to right you can see a Bank the entrance to the Bötcherstraße, the Schütting, a row of small houses, the town hall and the edge of the parliament (of the federal state Bremen). In front of the town hall you can find the Roland. see also: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremer_Marktplatz |

This is my first attempt at taking a macropanorama with multiple focal planes. I used the "Last Panorama" function on the GigaPan unit to retake the same field, but only after selecting another focal plane. I then used Helicon Focus software to render each frame, then stitched the panorama from the rendered frames with increased depth of field. This technique needs some work - I didn't get enough overlap between focal planes, so that's one area for improvement. I'll publish a detailed description of my technique on the GigaPan Forum once I work out the fine details. |

It was raining and people were running not to get wet (As you see in the first snapshot). *** Worth viewing the photo on Google Earth, just try! |

Taken with a 500mm mirror lens, which has excessive vignetting unfortunately. But the details is really good! |

360º panorama of garden.
(Banding visible in the wider view seems to be a camera/lens issue to be checked) |

Time for those red-blue glasses again!
And Wow! Look at that depth of field! |
