Aspen Highlands Maroon Bowl on Closing Day, 2009. Ed Armstrong Speed-Fly's Maroon Bowl. Speed-Flying is like paragliding, but the kite is much smaller and therefore the speed is much higher. You use skiis to get enough speed for takeoff. Its a pretty radical and exciting sport only practiced by a few.
Maroon Bowl is on the backside of the Fantastic Highlands Bowl at Aspen Highlands Ski Resort. It is in the backcountry and has significant risks including a river to cross at the bottom, but the turns are sweet. You can view many more Colorado Gigapans by me here: http://share.gigapan.org/viewProfile.php?userid=414 Please send your teenagers on an excellent summer education adventure teaching sailing, scuba diving, and marine biology in the British Virgin Islands - http://www.odysseyexpeditions.com |

Mt. Sopris is actually the tallest mountain in Colorado when measured from its base to its peak, but not the highest at 12995 feet.
Tech note, this photo was taken from12 miles away using a 1100mm (35mm equiv) lens on a Nikon D200 mounted on an Orion Teletrack Telescope Mount robotically driven with Papywizard software. Stitched with the Gigapan Stitcher (Autopano Giga 2 failed) |

Taken looking north from the pond at 7,505 Ft on the north side of Mt Adams in Washington State. This was the view looking out of my tent in the morning around 05:00. |

Ever since I saw miao's GigaPan of "A city near Route 80" (http://www.gigapan.org/alpha/gigapans/15148/) I've been salivating at the chance to get back to Garrett Mountain to shoot a massive GigaPan from the same vantage point. The spot is very well suited for GigaPanning - an overlook with an unobstructed view and plenty of detail that ought to be highly explorable. What more could I ask for?
Better weather. Unfortunately the day that I finally got out there to shoot this monster turned out to be the kind of day that drives a GigaPanner to tears - partly cloudy skies - tantalizing stretches of clear blue sky punctuated by white puffy clouds whose devestating effects on the lighting of the scene belie their benign outward appearance. With over 1000 input images this GigaPan took well over an hour to capture. Naturally, the mostly sunny conditions that I set up for lasted just long enough to convince me that they would prevail, but by the time the bulk of the foreground shots were being snapped the conditions had morphed to mostly cloudy and the resulting shots ended up pretty underexposed. What can you do? It wasn't a complete waste. I had a great conversation with a couple of passing bikers who were quite interested in the GigaPan technology (and far more knowledgable about it than your average passerby), and ultimately, despite the suboptimal exposures, the GigaPan Stitcher software took it all in stride and behaved like a trooper, outputting the largest GigaPan I've yet successfully stitched. I'm sure there'll still be plenty to explore and discover, but I'm still hoping that someday I'll have an opportunity to get back there and shoot this scene under better weather conditions. |
