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. |

A fourteen thousand foot altitude gigapan, taken on the top of Mount Democrat, one of Colorad's many tall mountains. A beautiful fall day, you can see the aspen starting to change. Mount Democrat is nearby Mount Lincoln and Mount Bross, which also can be climbed as part of a circuit of 14 thousand foot peaks.
This image was taken with a Canon T1i with a 300mm image stabilized lens- zoomed out to 55mm. An Epic 100 was used to take the photos, and it was stitched with APG. Attempted to do an HDR of this scene after taking this photo, but the cold weather removed the charge from the Epic 100 batteries before I could complete it. Photoshop used for minor image retouching, setting transparency on some of the moving people to avoid bluring in APG. |

The Sound of Silence trailhead is the jumping off point for the first major geologic mapping project of the Fort Hays State University Geology Summer Field Camp. For more information about our field camp see: http://hays.outcrop.org/GSCI454/
About four-fifths of the way through shooting this image I filled my camera's 4Gb memory card. After pausing for about twenty minutes to download the images to my computer I was able to resume the shot where I left off. The result is my largest GigaPan yet at 3.1 gigapixels. At the time of posting it's the tenth largest on the Gigapan.org site. |

I tried 5 times to stitch this, but the gigapan must've been tilted and this is my best result. It's a 360 - you can see the Stanley Hotel, some of Estes Park, and the Rockies in the background. |
