A GigaPan of the bookshelf in my office intended to highlight a bunch of my "deskcrops" (geologic specimens I have a fond attachment to) for The Accretionary Wedge #4 (http://www.goodschist.com/2007/12/02/the-accretionary-wedge-4-call-for-submissions/). Unfortunately I didn't have any good way to light the office for photography and thus the images are pretty grainy when you zoom in much. I also didn't use the full zoom capability of the camera in order to keep the stitch a reasonable size. |

The south side of Devils Tower. Can you find the climbers? How about the birds? |

I took this panorama while it was snowing. It was a real challenge, but with help of my brother (Parham) and my cousins (Pezhman and Bayan) ((by holding my cap over the camera! Not to get wet)) I finally did it. The result is not bad. The interesting story is that it was 11th of Farvardin (the first month of Persian calendar) and it was snowing while there was only one real snow in Tehran during the last winter.

Test post of large pano greater than 60,000 pixels wide
No post-processing (sharpening, cropping, color boost, etc) due to the fact that I can't even open the file (Too many pixels wide.) Working with AutoPano Pro. I thought I had covered all of the ground when shooting, but for some reason the software is having some problems picking up some of the shots. Anyone know how to defeat this? I can't open this in Photoshop and add some detail from another photo. I have several more from this day that I am still processing, and will upload later. |

Great geology, biology, and weather. Who could ask for anything more? |

Our thanks to the firemen of the Arvada Fire District who trained members of the 2009 South Pole overwinter crew for 2 weeks in September 2008. The training was challenging and very interesting. At times such as the moment pictured here, things got a bit heated.
This is a working fire station. The station is also used to teach students from the Fire Science Technology Program at Red Rocks Community College. The 15 images for this panorama were photographed with a Nikon D80 and stitched with Autopano Pro. |

Queen Creek Canyon is one of the dramatic vistas on the trail that loops through this amazing collection of desert plants. Along Queen Creek, the cottonwood trees have sprouted their brilliant green spring foliage. The Picket Post House crowns the top of the rocks at the left. This was the mansion built by Col. Boyce Thompson in 1928 and is now being managed by Arizona State Parks. Boyce Thompson Arboretum is a non-profit organization founded in 1924 by businessman and philanthropist, William Boyce Thompson. |

Big Rocks is a city park built around a rock formation along the banks of the Paluxy River in downtown Glen Rose, Texas. The rock formation covers an area perhaps the size of a football field. No one I spoke to knew much about the geological origins of the formation. I did hear lots of tal about mystery rocks that "didn't fit," with the formations around it. I couldn't find anything online either, so perhaps a resident gigapanning geologist might shed some light...? Still and all, erosion has done some magnificent things to the rocks. Also, Big Rocks is the only place I've been where they post a warning sign about amoebas. :-) Apparently the stagnant river water can carry the organisms. |
