The first-love of my GigaPan life was this Leica D-Lux 3 and I have brought it back to active use because of the soft-focus panorama I took of Belinda and the Cougars on UofH campus a few days ago. Although the Leica does not have the zoom that the Canon SX110 has, it has never provided blured images of any student on the campus of Rice University.
Where the panorama was taken from is at the west side of the Academic Quad, a few feet in front of Fondren Library (remember its Friday, and I am usually here every Friday afternoon).
Again, this hand-held 360-degree panorama was taken with a Leica D-Lux 3 and was stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software and additional details can be found on Stitcher Notes with information there concerning the GigaPan Stitcher run.
Note: This gorgeous panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth (assuming that you have Google Earth installed on your computer).

Because of free lunches, the A.D. Bruce Religion Center is home-away-from-home to many of UofH students and Wednesday is one of the days that is normal to see hungry students enjoying free food.

I happened on this match while out taking a few panoramas of Rice University. The location is the Rugby Field and the two teams were somewhere in the second period. I am not aware of what the score ended up being; however, I do know that great fun was had by all.

There is an oral history project associated with this World War II Memorial: http://wwii.rice.edu/foreward.htm and http://wwii.rice.edu/
I am at a loss for words other than what I wrote concerning the snapshot, other than it is a beautiful place to stop and meditate and consider freedom and the commitment to preserve it for future generations.
This Memorial is located at the intersection of Heights Boulevard and 11th Street in the Heights.
The panorama consists of 24 hand-held photos taken with a Canon SX110 camera and was stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software. Additional details can be seen when clicking Stitcher Notes.
View in Google Earth is a true visualization of the scene and is most worthwhile to appreciate.
