These pigs were individually decorated by local artists as a fund-raising initiative for the "Two Tunnels" sustainable transport project (http://www.twotunnels.org.uk/). They were on public display on the streets of Bath for six months in 2008 and were a great tourist attraction. You can see some of the pigs in their original locations by searching on the keyword "Bladud" and some of the snapshots have comments with links to the pig in the snapshot like this: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=6439&snapshot_id=31294.
The original pig was sculpted by Alan Dun: http://www.alandun.co.uk and http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=11385&snapshot_id=31484. There are over 100 pigs in total. This pano shows most of them. Sadly for the public, the pigs were sold at public auction. Happily for the Two Tunnels project, they raised a great deal of money. At least one pig sold for tens of thousands of pounds. For an alternative version of this image taken later in the afternoon, see http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=11385. PIG ID PUZZLE (Open Research Problem, Experts Only) Are any of the following pigs in this pano? http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=6439&snapshot_id=31293 http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=7541&snapshot_id=31296 http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=7459&snapshot_id=31285 Update. It seems that two of these pigs have been identified now by Texas_Photo - see comments below. |

This is the view from the roof of Bath Abbey.
I am amazed by this pano because I never expected it to stitch. I was delighted to get access to the roof of the main tower of the abbey, but dismayed when I realised the parapets were too high to see over, so there was no clear view of anything, and each corner of the roof has some tall stonework so even if I could get a view from one of the sides of the tower then I wouldn't be able to take a 360° pano. Given there was nothing else I could do, I held my camera over my head as high as I could and pointed it in the right general direction and took about 12 shots. I repeated this blind shooting on each of the four sides of the tower. Amazingly, not only did the four separate views stitch but the four views stitched into a 360°. Obviously there is a certain amount of distortion and parallax, but still, this is rapidly becoming one of my favourite shots. For a view of what is beneath the photographer's feet, see http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=7547. |

An attempt at the World Record for the greatest number of gratuitous occurrences of the same person in a gigapan (140mm lens) without using Photoshop.
Many thanks to the wonderful Miss Pixie for being so patient! Update: The bar has been raised to 22 occurrences - see http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=21255. |

The gallery is currently showing work by Mitchell, H. R. Giger and H. Natalevičius. See http://www.darkblackart.com/ for details.
A gigapan of the Giger room is here: http://tinyurl.com/giger661. Unfortunately the work by Natalevičius is not in focus, so I have included a separate image here: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=13763. To see what goes on behind the brown door, see http://tinyurl.com/5lfyot. To see some of Mitchell's earlier work, see http://tinyurl.com/6fvpcm. For those of you interested in gigapan applications, see http://www.myspace.com/darkblackart for a good use of embedded gigapans. |

This gigapan replaces the "10GPix" version of the same scene. It turns out that I didn't use the right settings in APP so the original gigapan was scaled up by a factor of 0.8 in both dimensions. This version was stitched with the GP stitcher and is the correct size.
For information about this scene including snapshots, comments and links, see the original (now private so as not to show up as the 5th largest gigapan) here: http://tinyurl.com/l9ryzd. |

This scene has contained two pieces by Sophie Ryder (http://tinyurl.com/lwsb2f) for some time now. I am really glad I finally managed to drag myself out of bed early enough to beat the tourists and take this shot.
It looks real nice in Google Earth. |

Nothing special and essentially the same shot as http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=3994. But after a month or more of misty and rainy weather I simply had to get out of my house (all of 30 yards away) and take a picture! |
