In a snapshot, a falcon is seen banking out of a turn to fly straight at this GigaPanographer. A few blocks away are a few swans, but I was not aware of any other bird types until I saw this beautiful bird in flight. Two words... big and amazing and I was able to capture it as this scene unfolded. Note: This panorama was stitched from 37 photos taken with a Nikon D70 and aNikkor 18-70mm kit lens. The overall focus could have been a tad better, but the photos themselves were NEF or RAW converted to 300 dpi JPG files and then stitched with Stitcher version 0.4.4087 with the result that in the *Thinking* snapshot you can easily see the bike wheel spokes at a good distance from the camera lens. |

This location has been visited with my GigaPan robot before, http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=8147, and by necessity, this panorama was taken hand-held. The property owners have said in the most absolute strong language, "No tripods on this property, period." And when I arrived at this early time on a Sunday morning, the security dude in his golf cart was only a few feet from where I stood, and we did not share pleasantries with each other.
For those who want to see this as a 360-degree panorama in Google Earth, please follow the link to a PRIVATE viewing: http://share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?auth=0b9e8195b6169bf5f66dc0bc24a77538 |

Famous fountain close to the Houston Galleria.
Initally, was known as the Transco Fountain, and then as Williams Fountain but now, it is simply the WaterWall. |

Lots and lots of traffic went by as I took this, but none to be seen in this pano, which can be attributed to luck as well as the pause button on the robot. |

The only reason that this is visible is for YOU to see it as a 360-degree panorama in Google Earth via the link :) |

Hand-held in portrait mode ... one of the benefits of having a P&S that can do 16:9 aspect ratio. |
