You are looking at a photo of Kelowna British Columbia in April of 2009 made with a digital slr on a tripod, with ten frames composed using a 50mm lens and the camera vertical. The camera records 8mp images, and the 50mm lens angle of view in vertical alignment allowed 15 degree intervals between captures. I have several different versions of the same image, this one was the widest so I have reposted it in lieu of the earlier ones.
The view is from the south-west to north-west, looking from Okanagan Mountain Park on the left, to Lake Country on the right. Thanks for looking and feel free to take snapshots. http://www.kelowna.ca/cm/site3.aspx |

This was a sort of a test as I used the autofocus feature to see if I got clearer shots than with the manual focus. Alligator Lake is in rural Osceola County, Florida to the Southeast of the Orlando metro area. a pretty Saturday morning by the lake. |

Once again I didn't catch this at the best time of day. Nonetheless this is a spectacular spot, high above Donner Lake. Granite of the Sierra Nevada Range is rounded into domes by glacial scouring and pierced by tunnels of the Union Pacific Railroad. If you look closely there are a number of climbers scaling these faces, as well. |

Obersee am Königssee
The (Obersee) upper lake is a natural lake in the Berchtesgadener Alps. The lake is separated from the Königssee by a moraine embankment. On the right side you can see the Fischunkelalm and on the left side the Watzmann mountain. This is a 195° view, at focal length of 50mm Any commercial use or publication of the image, in whole or in part, without prior written authorization of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited. |

This is the view from Inspiration point (or rather a few yards to the north), on a day with pretty rapidly changing lighting conditions. The trail from Jenny Lake to Hidden Falls was trecherous and covered with 2 feet of snow packed down by countless visitors' feet into a hard, slippery crust. But past the waterfall the trail gets direct sunlight and was mostly clear.
Note the nursing baby moose and mother at the left. When we came up we found folks looking at the baby off in the distance, and while I was taking this panorama the mother returned. She watched from about 10 feet away from the calf for a while, then the calf recognized her and stood up and nursed. Finally they both lay down together. I thought all the boldfaced warnings at the parking lot, etc., about not getting too close to wildlife were obvious and overhyped, but sure enough, while waiting for the pan to complete I watched one group of hikers act like they were going to walk right up to the moose. Fortunately, they were responsive when I suggested that might not be such a good idea. (duh!) |

What a perfect evening for Gigapanning! Good light (no clouds), no wind, and a beautiful view (for Kansas). I think I managed to miss shooting any of the boats on the lake, but if you look at the water you can see the wake of one of them as it approaches the camera - it gives you a sense of the time it takes for the pan to progress. Got lucky to catch the geese - it'd be nice if the Gigapan robot had a pause option that allowed one to move to a grid square (like Last Panorama does) so one could catch transient phenomena that the normal progress of the pan might miss. |
