The Sandpiper is a traditional bed and breakfast located on California’s North coast in Elk California. The rooms have a great view of a cove and the surf. A large and lush garden exists on the surf side with a bench or two. This is a fine place to watch the sunset and have a little wine. The rooms here are comfortable and traditional.

The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is an oceanfront amusement park in Santa Cruz, California. Founded in 1907 it is California's oldest surviving amusement park and one of two seaside parks on the West Coast of the United States (the other being the Santa Monica Pier).
The eastern end of the boardwalk is dominated by the Giant Dipper roller coaster, one of the best-known wooden coasters in the world and one of the most visible landmarks in Santa Cruz. The Dipper and the Looff Carousel, which still contains its original 342-pipe organ built in 1894, are both on the United States National Register of Historic Places. Entrance is free, rides cost between $2-4 each. Rides opened daily during summers and weekends during off-season. |

To the best of my knowledge this GigaPan is the world's first full gigapixel anaglyph image. In order to view the image in 3D you'll need a pair of red/blue anaglyph glasses (you may have a pair in your collection of National Geographic Magazines). Warning: although I've done what I could to minimize it, if you view this GigaPan at full zoom the image separation in some regions of this image may be more that your eyes can fully adjust to - zoom out a bit and save yourself the headache. For more information about anaglyph images see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_image If you enjoyed this anaglyph GigaPan you may also enjoy my other two anaglyph GigaPans: 1) Saline River Valley - http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=3527 2) Castle Rock Badlands - http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=12345 And another one: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=18692 I've also created lots of other non-anaglyph images: http://www.gigapan.org/viewProfile.php?userid=1252 Stitching Info (Left Camera): GigaPan Stitcher version 0.4.3510 (Windows) Panorama size: 1155 megapixels (64730 x 17849 pixels) Input images: 341 (31 columns by 11 rows) Field of view: 106.6 degrees wide by 29.4 degrees high (top=12.0, bottom=-17.4) Settings: Keep projected images Original image properties: Camera make: Canon Camera model: Canon PowerShot S5 IS Image size: 3264x2448 (8.0 megapixels) Capture time: 2008-12-20 11:55:28 - 2008-12-20 12:15:14 Aperture: f/4 Exposure time: 0.0015625 ISO: 80 Focal length (35mm equiv.): 435.8 mm Digital zoom: off White balance: Fixed Exposure mode: Manual Horizontal overlap: 35.7 to 42.0 percent Vertical overlap: 35.5 to 40.8 percent Computer stats: 3069.98 MB RAM, 2 CPUs Total time 3:13:59 (0:34 per picture) Alignment: 55:28, Projection: 16:31, Blending: 2:01:58 Stitching Notes (Right Camera): GigaPan Stitcher version 0.4.3510 (Windows) Panorama size: 1153 megapixels (64497 x 17892 pixels) Input images: 341 (31 columns by 11 rows) Field of view: 82.4 degrees wide by 22.9 degrees high (top=7.4, bottom=-15.5) Settings: Keep projected images Original image properties: Camera make: Canon Camera model: Canon PowerShot S5 IS Image size: 3264x2448 (8.0 megapixels) Capture time: 2008-12-20 11:56:00 - 2008-12-20 12:15:46 Aperture: f/4 Exposure time: 0.0015625 ISO: 80 Focal length (35mm equiv.): 435.8 mm Digital zoom: off White balance: Fixed Exposure mode: Manual Horizontal overlap: 35.5 to 40.2 percent Vertical overlap: 35.7 to 42.7 percent Computer stats: 3069.98 MB RAM, 2 CPUs Total time 2:53:38 (0:30 per picture) Alignment: 35:54, Projection: 16:42, Blending: 2:01:01 You can see a video of the dueling GigaPan units used to capture this anaglyph here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di0ug9x9ur8 Anaglyph creation completed in Photoshop CS3 following the general method detailed at: http://www.scec.org/geowall/makeanaglyph.html Placement in Google Earth is a compromise between the satellite imagery and the digital elevation model which are not currently well registered. |

We used Photoshop to enhance the color and brightness of this gigapan which was uploaded originally from the Gigapan stitch files on June 10th.
Shooting Note! Because of the distance I thought I could use the infinity focus on the Nikon P90 camera, thinking this would keep the focus constant. However, time was tight to take this pan and I noticed the camera trying to focus before the shots. I did not have time to shoot it over and now can see that there are stitched areas that are sharp next to ones that are not. I won't try this infinity focus again. You are welcome to try to identify some of the peaks visible. I will do the same as time permits. Note that this image is placed in Google Earth and very closely aligned with the mountains and ridges. |

This limestone arch is a frequently-shot feature of Dorset's Jurassic Coast. This shot is unusual for me because the sun is directly in the camera field of view, straight ahead. |

The top of Gad Cliff offers one of the most spectacular views along the Dorset and East Devon coast World Heritage Site (the Jurassic Coast). Here the rocks have been folded into a huge ‘S’ shaped kink as the result of earth movements about 15 million years ago. In the foreground, Kimmeridge Clay together with Portland and Purbeck strata, lie in the southern side of the fold and are dipping steeply to the north. In the distance, the same rocks are level as they are located away from the fold. This huge structure, known as the Purbeck Monocline, runs east to west across Purbeck, dominating the landscape.

360 of the interior of St James Church, Poole.
Our first ever attempt at using Gigapan was in the church-yard of St James Church (see here: http://share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=19748) - the church wardens were so impressed that they invited us back to shoot one inside of the impressive interior. Messed up a little bit on the join and forgot it doesn't overlap on a 360, so isn't quite symmetrical, but I will try and fix this soon and also hopefully fix the stitching errors in the ceiling. Other than that, very pleased!! Taken by Alice Ralph and Denis Roberts of KUBE, Poole - www.kubepoole.org.uk |
