The building with the arched roof to the left is the basketball arena. The high rises around it are the new dorms. Off to the right is the Psychology building. The University is growing at a tremendous rate. It is only a matter of time before this area is covered by buildings I would guess. Taken the Monday before Thanksgiving, 2008. Yes, that is an outdoor Ice Skating rink cooking in the Florida sun in front of the arena. |

A scupture by local sculptor Pete Felten, 1977.
I had to touch this one up a bit in Photosop, because the initial stitch left the male student with an early hominid-like squashed head. |

The culmination of several successful HDR shots and numerous failed night attempts (including one at this same location that was cancelled due to automatic sprinklers), I finally got a (near) gigapixel, HDR, night shot i'm happy with. I'd be lying if I said this wasn't a lot of work both during the shoot and in post-processing. I may try to retake this one for a slightly better sky sometime soon, and will definitely start photographing more shots with this technique. Printing 44" x 60"--something I've only been able to realistically do recently. Seeing these massive and extremely high-res is really what's been making me want to take a lot more of them very soon and has even made me reconsider how I frame a lot of my shots from now on.
I also believe this may be the highest-resolution nightime HDR image on the Gigapan site and even--dare I say it-- in existence (can anyone verify this other than Guiness?). In any case, enjoy! |
