Congress Hall Nuremberg
The Documentation Centre Nazi Party Rally Grounds is located in the north wing of the Congress Hall, a building planned by the National Socialists to hold 50,000 people but never completed. The upper level with approximately 1,300 square metres of floor space will house a new permanent exhibition entitled Faszination und Gewalt (Fascination and Terror) dealing with the causes, relationships and consequences of National Socialist tyranny. Topics directly associated with Nuremberg form the major focus of the exhibition, which is organised into 19 chronologically structured exhibition areas. These topics include: the history of the Nazi Party Rallies, the buildings at the Party Rally Grounds, the "Nuremberg Laws" of 1935, the 1945/46 Nuremberg Trial of the people and major organisations chiefly responsible for the NS crimes, the twelve Subsequent Proceedings, and the difficulty of dealing sensitively with the National Socialist architectural legacy after 1945. This is a 360° panorama best viewed with Google Earth. |

This was the site of the Fine Outreach For Science Gigapan workshop. 25 scientists and science journalists were invited to the workshop to learn how to use Gigapan and see demonstrations of how Gigapan can be used in various research activities. The reception at the end of the first workshop was held in the Carnegie Music Hall Foyer, a beautiful space built in the 1890s. Thanks to the Fine foundation for making this possible!
You can see another Gigapan of this reception here: http://share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=23802 Camera settings - I used an SX110 to get this shot. The light level was pretty low, so I had an exposure time 1.6", with focus manually set to about 5 meters out. I lowered my F-stop to 5.0 from my typical 8.0, giving up a little depth of field for a shorter exposure time. ISO was 80, though I probably could have gone to 100 or 200 to shorten exposure time even more. I used a 2 second timer on the camera so that the image was taken only 2 seconds after the button pusher pushed the shutter button; with this exposure I needed to set the time per pic on the Gigapan to about 10 seconds/shot (so the total image took 20 minutes). The static parts of the image came out very crisp, so I'm very happy with this. Naturally, most people don't stay still for 1.6 seconds, so people are in varying stages of blurriness depending on how much they moved. |

If you've seen the movie Robocop you may remember this building, as it was used as the exterior for OCP headquarters. |

The old Michigan train depot is a canvas for graffiti artists. The Michigan Central Depot was opened in 1913. The building was designed in the Beaux Art neoclassical style by architects Warren and Wetmore, and engineers Reed and Stern. The last train departed January 5, 1988 and the building was permanently closed. The decay began and the building has since been stripped to the bone by vandals. It is now a shell of its former self.

View from a balcony at Austin City Hall. The architectural detail overhead is called "The Stinger" by locals. A construction site across the street is the future home of Austin City Limits. |

We have seen this view a number of times, but never on a November moring at this time of day and with the blue sky either. In this panorama, we see bordering the Academic Quad; Lovett Hall, Sewall Hall, Rayzor Hall, Fondren Library, Anderson Hall and Herzstein Hall and views of Keck Hall, Engineering Quad and Duncan Hall. This hand-held, 360-degree panorama was taken with a Leica D-Lux 3 camera and was stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software. Additional details can be found on Stitcher Notes with information there concerning the GigaPan Stitcher run. Note: This glorius panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth (assuming that you have Google Earth installed on your computer). |
