This large gigglepan is what I call a superpan with over 800 images making it up. It's well worth exploring. This is called "the floating harbour" because the water is held in by lock gates. Otherwise the boats would all end up resting on the mud at low tide twice each day. The SS Great Britain, built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel was the first ever iron hulled, screw propellor driven liner and was the largest in the world when it was built. it was brought back to the dock in which it was built to be restored in the 1970s and is now an award winning museum. Moored next to it is a replica of The Matthew: the little wooden ship in which John Cabot sailed from Bristol in 1495 to discover the North American mainland (Newfoundland). This replica, also built in Bristol, retraced that journey on the 500th anniversary of the original voyage in 1995.

This was a sort of a test as I used the autofocus feature to see if I got clearer shots than with the manual focus. Alligator Lake is in rural Osceola County, Florida to the Southeast of the Orlando metro area. a pretty Saturday morning by the lake. |

This gigapan is made from a set of photos taken at the same time as http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=21260 but with AE-lock, appears to have fewer stitching artefacts than 21260. The sky is more uniform. Some detail is lost in the shadows as compared with 21260 but on the whole, this one is better. |

View towards Exmouth from Cofton Country Holidays in Dawlish. http://www.coftonholidays.co.uk
Exmouth is a port town and seaside resort in East Devon, England, sited on the east bank of the mouth of the River Exe. It has a population of around 33,000. Many of the landmarks can clearly be seen in the image, including the new RNLI lifeboat station, the Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee Clock Tower and the national trust A La Ronde round house. This image is made up of 115 still photographs take with a Nikon D200 & Nikkor 300mm f/2.8mm lens, stitched together into a 2GB image. |
