A look at Hanauma from the opposite side. I used full zoom plus the Canon 1.5x tele-extender - zoom ~650mm equivalent. I forgot my glasses, so inadvertently used Aperture Priority rather than Manual (the double A I saw looked like an M. :^\
Maybe AutoPanoGiga will soon be able to fix this problem! This image also shows the auto-focus limits of this point and shoot. I look forward to a DSLR model so I can return to this spot and take a new gigapan with my Olympus E-510. Notice, though, that you can see people on the trail up to Makapu`u Point, about 6.5 km (4 miles)distance! |

Canon S5IS, 8mp
full zoom = 435mm + 1.5 tele-extender = 650 mm equivalent. 1564 frames stitched with Auto Pano Pro Giga 2.0.3, rendered as APP raw format .kro This is the first .kro rendered gigapan uploaded to gigapan.org |

This near-360 shows the relative location of the USGS erosion study site, part of their Ridge to Reef Project. I used aperture priority exposure to make sure the study area and surrounding grounds were properly exposed without over-exposing the sky. There are a few stitching anomalies, which are not unexpected for such a complex image. The study site is at about 720-740 meters elevation (~2400 ft) along the east rim of Kawela Gulch. The fenced area is about 40 meters away from the camera. As an indication of the slope of the ridge, the rocks close to the camera, opposite from the fenced area, are only 2 to 4 meters from the GigaPan unit. I shall attempt to stitch this gigapan using the newest Alpha version of AutoPano Pro Giga 1.9. I hope that the color and exposure correction features, as well as the panorama straightening tool, make this image a bit more pleasing to the eye. Nonetheless, it does put the site into context!
Mahalo nui loa to Rich Gibson for stitching this gigapan. |

Hanauma Bay from the steps along the north rim: 25 rows x 70 columns. Mahalo nui loa to Randy Sargent for stitching this beast! Banding, again, due to strong trade winds and continuous cloud banks. Too many people to use the "pause" function efficiently, so I just let the body parts accumulate. |

________________________________ This is the same Hanauma Bay panorama as http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=4450. It's 70 columns X 25 rows of individual 8 megapixel frames stitched almost seamlessly by the GigaPan stitcher. Wave movement and people movement result in some interesting, often fun, stitching results, though. Mahalo nui loa to Scott Telstad for fixing the exposure anomalies on the fully stitched image. |

Ever since I saw miao's GigaPan of "A city near Route 80" (http://www.gigapan.org/alpha/gigapans/15148/) I've been salivating at the chance to get back to Garrett Mountain to shoot a massive GigaPan from the same vantage point. The spot is very well suited for GigaPanning - an overlook with an unobstructed view and plenty of detail that ought to be highly explorable. What more could I ask for?
Better weather. Unfortunately the day that I finally got out there to shoot this monster turned out to be the kind of day that drives a GigaPanner to tears - partly cloudy skies - tantalizing stretches of clear blue sky punctuated by white puffy clouds whose devestating effects on the lighting of the scene belie their benign outward appearance. With over 1000 input images this GigaPan took well over an hour to capture. Naturally, the mostly sunny conditions that I set up for lasted just long enough to convince me that they would prevail, but by the time the bulk of the foreground shots were being snapped the conditions had morphed to mostly cloudy and the resulting shots ended up pretty underexposed. What can you do? It wasn't a complete waste. I had a great conversation with a couple of passing bikers who were quite interested in the GigaPan technology (and far more knowledgable about it than your average passerby), and ultimately, despite the suboptimal exposures, the GigaPan Stitcher software took it all in stride and behaved like a trooper, outputting the largest GigaPan I've yet successfully stitched. I'm sure there'll still be plenty to explore and discover, but I'm still hoping that someday I'll have an opportunity to get back there and shoot this scene under better weather conditions. |

An approximately 270 degree panorama from High Point, New Jersey. The view is from approximately east-southeast (left) to north-northeast (right). Three states are visible in this view: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. Lake Marcia is near the center of the image and Port Jervis, NY is near the right side of the image. The panorama was shot from the southwest corner of the base of the High Point monument. At the time of uploading, this is my largest GigaPan yet, and first to exceed 5 gigapixels. (Someday they'll fix the 360 degree stitching bug and I may have others this size to upload.) |

226042x21693px image will make you surprised of the details and the hiden places that could be seen. This is I thing the widest view of the town Kocani where the alomost 70% of the town is visible.
This is the hand made panorama with predicted overlaping. I thought will never complite the result I got. Before last step corrections the pano was between 6-7Gpx, but in order to get the nice composition and quality it was cropped in Photoshop to 5Gpx. At the begining I almost reached the Photoshop limit of 300.000 px. Amazing experiance and result if you exclude the little visible mistakes. And the 30Gb file was uploading for ages. PANORAMA FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TOWN COULD BE SEEN HERE: ПАНОРАМАТА ОД ДРУГАТА СТРАНА НА ГРАДОТ МОЖЕ ДА БИДЕ ВИДЕНА НА СЛЕДНИОВ ЛИНК: (http://gigapan.org/gigapans/30950) Green nature that sarrouns the town, "Brana Gragce" could be seen on folowing link: http://gigapan.org/gigapans/33685/ НА ПРЕТХОДНИОТ ЛИНК МОЖЕ ДА СЕ ВИДИ ИЗЛЕТНИЧКОТО МЕСТО "БРАНА ГРАТЧЕ". |
