The 2-mile long Stanford Linear Accelerator pushes electrons very close to the speed of light. Here we are outside the "klystron gallery" on the south side of the building about 1/2 way down the 2-mile length. This is the longest and straightest building in the world. Behind the building you can see Stanford's Primate Facility (informally called "Gombe West"), where Jane Goodall did research between 1971 and 1975. The facility is no longer active.

The eleventh annual MMM invitational fund raising exhibition for the Koa Gallery.
This gigapan, and the others in the Koa Gallery set, show the limits of the Auto focus capability of the Canon S5-IS - it leaves a bit to be desired at close range, and when trying to focus on a blank wall. The stitcher still has some difficulty, too. |

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 |

This is a 360 degree gigapan of our third Art Boot Sale. We had a photography focus but other art-forms were welcome. Taken from the ground floor but there were stalls on other floors too, as well as our Gigapans taken at the workshop with Illah and Kilgore this week on display on second floor. We had loads of good feedback from art-booters who saw the gigapans on display. There were actually a lot more people around when I took this but they kept diving out of the way when they saw the camera pointing at them!! |

This is the Craft Club (organised by Ishihara) at the KUBE launch, formerly The Study Gallery of Modern Art. Lots of messy kids!!
See if you can spot Denis' hair floating in air... haha. |

The Great Northern Arts Festival 2009 Gallery Interior
Photo ©2009 George Lessard "... Since 1989, up to 80 visual artists and 40 performers from across the North gather each summer in Inuvik to celebrate the diversity that is Canada's North. They are Inuit, Inuvialuit, Gwich'in, Dene, Metis and many of Canada's additional First Nations, as well as non-Aboriginal artists and artisans; they come from as far away as Pangnirtung on Baffin Island, Gjoa Haven in the Arctic Archipelago, Fort Smith on the NWT/Alberta border, and from the Yukon Territory. They come to show their work, meet other artists, see different styles of work and learn new techniques. The First Great Northern Arts Festival was held in July, 1989. It is an annual event occuring in mid-July and lasts for approximately 10 days. At inception, the festival hosted 35 artists from the Northwest Territories. In the 13th year, the Festival hosted 92 artists from across the Canadian North, as well as 14 musicians and performers, from as far away as Alaska, the Orkney Islands of Scotland, and the Yucatan in Mexico. The unique circumstances of Northern artists cannot be over-emphasized. No other region of Canada is faced with the same challenges in terms of isolation, prohibitive cost of travel to other communities or regions of the country, unavailability of such basic requirements as art supplies, or professional services of photographers for the production and maintenance of portfolios. The list is endless and what is taken for granted in the South, is often unavailable or prohibitively expensive in the North. The Festival has sought to provide Northern artists, as much as possible, with many of the same advantages and experiences enjoyed by their Southern peers. Local visitors and world travellers alike, from Japan, Germany and Denmark, from New York to San Francisco, and Canadians from sea to sea to sea, appreciate the chance to see such a variety and range of talents in one location. Australian visitors to the Festival commented: "This is absolutely fabulous! We have come a long way and would not have missed it for the world." We are planning steadily, fielding calls and receiving applications on a daily basis to help make this another year of success in the Celebration of Northern Arts and Culture. Join over 120 visual and performing artists under the midnight sun at the Great Northern Arts Festival: the premiere visual arts event North of 60°. ..." http://www.gnaf.org/ |

The 2-mile long Stanford Linear Accelerator pushes electrons very close to the speed of light. It is powered by klystron tubes (red cylinders), similar to the tubes in your microwave oven but much more powerful, spaced 40 feet apart. Your microwave klystron produces about 1000 watts of power, while the 250 klystrons of the accelerator each produce 65 megawatts (pulsed). The microwaves are injected into the accelerator below this gallery. The electrons in their vacuum tube "surf" the microwaves, accelerating as they go.

The 2-mile long Stanford Linear Accelerator pushes electrons very close to the speed of light. Here we are outside the "klystron gallery" on the north side of the building just east of Highway 280 which you can see on the right side of the panorama.
