This shot was taken of Trunk Bay, US Virgin Islands from the overlook on North Shore Drive. It is the recurrent photograph of the island. I am amazed how well the Gigapan stitcher software did. I?m using 0.4.3510. Some of the shots have a low contrast clouds in them and some have featureless ocean yet the software managed to place the images. I tried this array using Photoshop CS3 using Photomerge and it choked my computer. I can?t even show you what happened because the program hung and went into a ?non responding? state. I also tried PTgui version 8. It required the addition of hundreds of control points which I haven?t completely adjusted. Some of the control point errors arestill extremely large. It appears that Gigapan stitcher is the only program that takes advantage of the precise location of the images to place them in the panorama. Some additional technical details: Imager SN01097, firmware 0.32.1, powered by AA alkaline batteries. Camera: Panasonic DMC-TZ3 at the 10x zoom setting, auto exposure and auto focus turned on (they can?t be turned off). Computer: HP laptop, 2.0 GHz processor, 3GB of RAM, Vista 32 bit. I?ll go back next week and repeat this photo. I just missed the power boat in the shot, you can see the wake. The left side of the photo may not be interesting enough so I may crop it out. Goodbye!

Old dense icebergs that have broken off from the Antarctic ice sheets travel northward through the Southern Ocean, melting and breaking into smaller pieces as they encounter warmer water.
In this shallow bay in the South Orkney Islands, a considerable number of large, dense icebergs have come to rest in water that is still cold enough to maintain them for many years. Because of the big, resting bergs, this place is known as an "iceberg graveyard". This iceberg is being slowly scupltured by waves as it sits serenely anchored in the bay. The dense ice that has very little air incorrporated within, glows intense blue in the dark blue-gray water. The 6 images of this panorama were photographed with a Nikon D-80 and stitched with Autopano Pro. |

A view looking south over the beautiful sandy beach, from the small jetty. But what did I do wrong to get the curve and cracks in the stitching? |

Robert Point on Robert Island is in the South Shetland Islands, just a bit west of the Antarctic Peninsula. The point looks pretty rugged, and the rocks made walking a bit tricky. Lichens and grass add some color to the landscape. |

The Reflective Images, Living Walls project is the largest mural the Ali’i Creations has ever created throughout its 15-year history. The project which spans the lobby of the gym measures 77’x 10’ and was completed using acrylic paint. The six-panel mural traces each important chapter in the history of the Northern Mariana Islands beginning with the pre-contact period, followed by images of the Spanish, German, Japanese, and American administrations of our islands. The last panel of the mural reflects modern day CNMI. Each panel sits inside brick-like arches meant to emphasize the influence of the Catholic Church in our islands. |
