This is a big gigapan I shot on Saturday evening. It's a huge Gigapan and took 16 hours to stitch. 47 images wide X 23 images tall totaling 1081 images.
I missed some of the balloons on the first pass so I backed the unit up and reshot a section. The lighter background in the sky was caused when I readjusted the exposure during shooting. The sun was setting fast and light was fading. EDS Credit Union Plano Balloon Festival - Plano, Texas - September 19 - 21, 2008 http://www.planoballoonfest.org/fest-facts.html Enjoy the "Lofty Visions" as 70 magnificent, colorful, hot air balloons fill the skies over Plano Friday at 6:00pm, Saturday at 7:00am and 6:00pm, and Sunday at 7:00am and 6:00pm (weather permitting). Fun for all ages, are the Special Shapes that attend the festival. This year, the special shapes include: High Jack, Miss Daisy, Pandy the Panda, Oggy the Dragon, and Woodrow C. Greenleaf. |

Addison Oktoberfest 2008 - September 18 - 21, 2008
I shot this yesterday evening on the first day of Addison's Octoberfest. It was still a little early so not many people are around. The guy in the suit with all the medals showed up after I shot the GigaPan so I backed the robot up and reshot him. My friend Joe has a new GigaPan also and we set his up and shot as well. You can see his gigapan unit on the far left. This GigaPan is 7 images high and 63 images wide, 441 total images. Tomorrow I shoot a Balloon Festival, so check back in a few days. Please bookmark this image if you like it or leave me a comment. http://www.addisontexas.net/events/Oktoberfest/ More than 60,000 fans of polka, German food and Paulaner Bier will gather in Addison?s spectacular Addison Circle Park for four days of music, folk dancing, sing-alongs, children?s entertainment and more. Addison?s four-day, authentic German festival is one of the largest Oktoberfest festivals outside of the famed Munich celebration. |

The 'Carnavalsduik' (carnivaldive) is an event that takes place each year in Blankenberge (Belgium). It's the 1st dive of the year in the (4degree) cold wather of the Nordsea. After a 20minutes rhythmic warming, the disguised people are running to the sea for a cold dive. |

The Carnival booths from the second story of the Titanic booth. Carnegie Mellon holds a carnival every year, and student organizations develop the booths each year. Most booths have free games, and some are extremely intricate two story affairs. This year's theme was "Extra, extra, read all about it!" |

This was the last day at sea as the ship sails from Cozumel back to Galveston, Texas. It was a bit cooler than in the islands so there are not as many people enjoying the sun as on a warmer day. I made a panorama of this same scene while in the port of Montego Bay, Jamaica. Very few people on deck but I believe it is better because of the landscape surrounding the ship. |

Taken on November 19, 2008 from the shores of Grand Cayman. Taken with a Nikon D80, hand held, stitched from 5 photos.
While this is not the best, nor the largest pano (I had to add the border to meet the 50gigapixel limit) I wanted to share a great view from my wife and I's first vacation (No, that is not her laying on the beach :-) ) |
