A famous locality for structural geologists outside Shamokin, Pennsylvania. The Whaleback, the low ridge in the center of the quarry, is the surface of an anticline exposed by coal mining. On the left (east) wall of the quarry one can see the anticline-syncline pair that was the subject of my first ever GigaPan (shot handheld from on the crest of the Whaleback): http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/1201/ |

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. I thought it 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". |

In 1861, Joseph Battell remodeled a farmhouse into an inn (in distance left of center) which became a successful summer getaway and was incrementally enlarged during his lifetime. Today the inn and surrounding buildings are part of Middlebury College’s Bread Loaf Campus where the Bread Loaf School of English and Bread Loaf Writers' Conference take place each summer. During his life, Battell bought 40,000 acres in Vermont, and left much of it to Middlebury College in 1915. Most of this land was subsequently transferred to the Green Mountain National Forest and to the state of Vermont. The college still owns the land used for its Nordic and alpine ski areas and the Bread Loaf Campus.
Elevation: 440 m (1440 ft), Camera location from GPS: N43 57.199 W72 59.570 Notes: I used a Nikon D40 with a Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 AI-s lens at f/11, 1/400 second (lowest rows at 1/320 sec), ISO 200, NEF. 35mm equiv is 450mm, and field of view was set to 3.4 degrees. Focus was manually adjusted many times. Two second shutter delay was initiated by wireless remote. Lightroom was used to remove vignetting before outputting jpegs for stitching. Abundant misalignment errors may be due to insufficient overlap among photos, and/or to manually adjusting the focus. |

The abrupt east face of the San Rafael Swell where I-70 pierces it. Outside of Boulder, Colorado you'd be hard pressed to find a better example of hogbacks. |

Stadium entrance to the Chicago Bears American Football. This is my first attempt at a full 360 panorama. Originally intended for Memorial Day but the file was too large to be stitched on my computer. Soldier Field was dedicated to the fallen war soldiers and was named thus in 1925. I would have liked to have taken a panorama inside the stadium but football season is still months away. Some pixels are missing from this image, which most have occurred during the stitching, because the original photos are fine. At some point when I free more space on my computer I will probably re-stitch the image. |

The two days that I tried to shoot the Tetons at sunrise ended up being cloudy to partly cloudy. The light was better the day I shot this one than the day before (http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/30797/), but not what I was hoping for. Nonetheless, I had time to kill while the sun got to work burning off the clouds, so I went for high detail - 4.2 gigapixels worth, as it turns out. |

Do you think there's a shallow magma chamber here? |
