First shot i've taken that I feel was worth the extra time to photoshop and make perfect, including everything from the Mercedes Benz shoot to the cars stopped in traffic on the West Side Highway. Also what I think is the first shot taken at this resolution of the new Highline Park that's just opened. Definitely the most time i've ever spent working on a single picture...pretty good view from here. Printing as big as I can as well. enjoy! |

This Gigapan was taken at an elevation of 200ft above sea level, from the Twin Lights Lighthouse in Highlands, New Jersey. The nearby Mt. Mitchell Scenic Overlook is at an elevation of 266 ft and is the highest place on the eastern seaboard, between southern Maine and the Yucatan in Mexico!
Sandy Hook is the seven mile sand peninsula in the foreground that jutes out into Raritan Bay south of New York. A unit of the Gateway National Recreation Area and part of the National Parks of New York Harbor, it also includes Fort Hancock, a disused miltary base. Check out the snapshots and you can see the Statue of Liberty over 20 miles away, the Verrazano Narrows Bridge between Staten Island and Brooklyn, the Empire State Building in Manhattan and the Parachute Ride and the Wonder Wheel on Cooney Island! This Gigapan was taken using a Nikon D300 with a Tokina 80-400mm at 400mm (600mm 35mm equivalent). For more Gigapans of Sandy Hook see http://gigapan.org/gigapans/most_popular/?q=brianlr+sandy+hook |

Here is a panorama of the Amundsen Scott South Pole Station on the evening of December 31, 2008. The snowy landscape around the Pole is fairly quiet, as almost everyone is getting ready for the New Year’s Eve party in the gymnasium of the elevated station. We have not yet taken apart our Christmas tree, and the 2008 Pole marker remains in the snow where it was placed on January 1 of last year. Tomorrow during a 1pm ceremony, the Geographic Pole marker will change to its 2009 version, which was designed and made by the 2008 overwinter crew. The new marker will be set onto a post in a new hole in the ice that is located about 30 feet closer to the Dome. The American Flag and the sign with its brief written accounts of Amundsen's and Scott's arrival at the Pole will move along with it. The South Pole Station is situated on top of the largest sheet of ice on Planet Earth. The elevated station, the Dome, and everything else that you see here drift a little bit toward grid northwest each day. Once each year the location of the Geographic Pole is officially corrected to place it once again over the axis of rotation of the planet. In 2008, we use GPS to confirm the location of the Pole. All of this constant, predictable glacial motion and the annual marker movement create an interesting pastime for the crew and visitors to the station, especially for the folks who brought their own GPS’s to the Pole. In the summer of 1911-12, Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott had a much more difficult time confirming that they and their parties had in fact arrived at 90 degrees south latitude. On the left of the image you see the ice-carving efforts of some of the station crew. They have been working on these giant blocks for several weeks, and their art will be judged on January 4. The ambient temperature, which has now risen to approach 0 degrees Fahrenheit, makes ice carving a comfortable exercise, as long as the wind is fairly calm. It looks like they had some great ideas and that they have been busy at their task. Which carving would earn your vote? The 30 images of this panorama were photographed with a Nikon D 80 and stitched with Autopano Pro. Please enjoy The South Pole on New Year's Eve 2008. |

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is considered to be the most photographed event in the world. If you zoom in on the crowd you will see a lot of those photographs being taken. |

One of the most difficult panoramas i've made, just because of the location and extreme exposure differences from one corner of the room to the next. A 360-degree, triple-exposure HDR image that took three shooting attempts over the last several months to finally get correct. Tonemapped in Photomatix, Stitched in AutoPano Giga, cropped and corrected in Photoshop.
The abandoned pumping station I found a couple years back near South Mountain Reservation in northeast New Jersey looks like it's been there for about 80 years or so and abandoned for at least the last 20-30 of it. The inside is completely covered in graffiti, and the building itself is completely rotting away. That said, as soon as I stepped inside the first time I wanted to create this photograph, happy I finally did-- enjoy! UPDATE: A 35" x 90" 360 DPI print of this image was just selected to be shown in the PhotoSpiva 2010 Photographic Competition in Joplin, MO, from March 6 - April 25, 2010. If you're in the area, i'd love to hear your thoughts about the print! |

There are 73 individual birds representing 65 different species in this image. If you find one and make a snapshot, please label the snapshot with the bird’s common name. You will violate the spirit of this project if you make snapshots without identifying the birds.
Extra credit: Can you name the five species that have more than one individual in the image? The Background image was photographed handheld at the recycling area in Sunapee, NH on January 14, 2010. The birds come from multiple years. All work was done in Photoshop CS4. |

Near the state line of Massachusetts and Vermont.
If drawing a line from the center of top edge to the center of right side, the triangle of top right corner (about 1/8 of the photo) is in Vermont, the rest is in Massachusetts. |
