On the right is perennial Intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium), a close relative of our major annual crop wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seen on the left. The view shows the deep (5 – 6 foot) root structure of wheatgrass beside the roots of wheat predominantly in the 18” range. Wheatgrass is a potential grain crop on its own; we are working with genetically diverse populations selecting for crop-like traits.

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), one of the dominant warm-season prairie grasses, commonly occurs with Big bluestem (Andropogon gerardi) and Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans) on fertile bottomlands. The displayed plant is approximately 4.25 meters long.

A popular destination. After repeatedly pausing, backing up and starting again attempting to miss the crowd I finally gave up and finished the pan. Then, as is the nature of chance, the crowd disappeared. I retook the center portion of the image, and then worked through modifying the image numbers to get the redo to load in order. The remnant of the center section substitution is the notch at its start. The fellow to the right is part of the original pan. |

This is an image of two 4' x 8' sheets on the floor of the greenhouse. For an image of the sheets curved to form an 'easel' see: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=7257 and http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=8037 |

This taken during the afternoon practice session. All praise to 'stitch using a larger blending area'. The camera was set to autofocus and autoexposure due to the extremes of distance and lighting. The wider blending compensated for a great deal of image differences. However, my attempt to cover for the loss of three images due to a too short of time between images is apparent. I filled in the missing images with copies of similar images nearby, but that wasn't quite good enough for two of them - the third fill did not result in a black hole, but is still discernable. |

The 4 ft x 16 ft 'easel' is curved to a 10 ft radius. The GigaPan is on the centerline 10 ft above. The results of this shoot can be seen at:

5 handheld images ~ a long walk from the hotel ~ I didn't carry the robot! Too pretty a picture to pass up. You can hear the Steeler fans from here. A great city from my perspective. Had I carried the robot I would never have made it this far ~ not because of the load but because there were too many photo-ops!! |
