This was the site of the Fine Outreach For Science Gigapan workshop. 25 scientists and science journalists were invited to the workshop to learn how to use Gigapan and see demonstrations of how Gigapan can be used in various research activities. The reception at the end of the first workshop was held in the Carnegie Music Hall Foyer, a beautiful space built in the 1890s. Thanks to the Fine foundation for making this possible!
Camera settings - I used an SX110 to get this shot. The light level was pretty low, so I had an exposure time 1.6", with focus manually set to about 5 meters out. I lowered my F-stop to 5.0 from my typical 8.0, giving up a little depth of field for a shorter exposure time. ISO was 80, though I probably could have gone to 100 or 200 to shorten exposure time even more. I used a 2 second timer on the camera so that the image was taken only 2 seconds after the button pusher pushed the shutter button; with this exposure I needed to set the time per pic on the Gigapan to about 10 seconds/shot (so the total image took 20 minutes). The static parts of the image came out very crisp, so I'm very happy with this. Naturally, most people don't stay still for 1.6 seconds, so people are in varying stages of blurriness depending on how much they moved. |
