I constructed this group portrait for http://GigaPanMagazine.org Volume 2, Issue 1.
See also http://gigapan.org/gigapans/11192/ and http://gigapan.org/gigapans/9435/ for context.
The tiny Happy Face Spiders (HFS) are denizens of Hawaii's cool rain forests, generally above 3000' (900 meters). The middle row shows a female HFS with her clutch of eggs. The next three images were taken about 6 weeks later: second from left is the same individual who was guarding her eggs; the next image shows the relative size of the spiders, and the right hand image shows the keiki (baby) spiders. The remainder show other patterns from Mount Ka`ala, O`ahu. The color patterns vary between islands. You can see one spider having a meal, and a couple of others with eggs. Most of the color patterns have been named. From the top row, left to right: black stripe (not very original), big grin (a First Lady variant), a Charlie Chan variant, Lei Lehua, another Chan variant.
Middle row, the "First Lady", the first HFS described and photographed after their rediscovery on Mount Ka`ala in the late 1960's.
Bottom row: a third "First Lady" variant, another Lei Lehua variant - munching on an introduced bark louse, Groucho, and the Clown.

I took this "small" gigapan early on January 7, the day the USS Missouri was launched after an $18,000,000 refurbishing. I was fortunate enough to be invited on board during the filling of the dry dock, and the subsequent towing of the ship to its mooring at Pier Foxtrot 5. It is again in formation with the USS Arizona. Many veterans and active duty personnel were on board, as well as members of the USS Missouri Memorial Association. The ship is now owned and operated by the non-profit memorial association.
Upon disembarking, each guest was given a memento of the occasion - a small piece of the ship (a replaced bolt or plug).

The Mighty Mo - in the process of getting refurbished before returning to its berth in formation with the Arizona Memorial. At the time of this gigapan, the cranes were active, and work was still progressing on the plastic tarp-enshrouded superstructure of the ship.
See http://www.ussmissouri.com/ for much more information about the USS Missouri.

Time sequence that shows the Green Flash at sunset.
This series was taken at a Cafe in Kailua Kona, Hawaii.
The image is certainly NOT a gigapan. I took the individual frames hand held with an Olympus E510 & 300 mm equivalent lens, then cheated to meet the minimum size for uploading.

You can sure tell it's used frequently!
My first try at a spherical gigapan (or nearly so). It looks great as a sphere in the stitcher, but, once uploaded to gigapan.org, loses the spherical shape in the GigaPan viewer. Viewed in Google Earth, though, the spherical nature of the gigapan is again evident. I could not geolocate the gigapan so it was inside the building, so it's geolocated at the address of the Honolulu Academy of Arts - Academy Art Center. I'll fix it later. :^\

A light breeze began towards the end of the shoot - notice the fuzzy reflection towards the bottom of the image.

The dogwood (Cornus sp.) were in full flower on Memorial Day. This one in particular just called out for gigapanning. There are a few autofocus issues, but overall, I like it.

Dispersed vascular bundles, rather than a single ring of xylem and phloem, show this plant to be a monocotyledon - most likely a Draceana species (see my comment).

Nelumbo lutea - American lotus
The area where this plant grows is most likely a water course, since Lotus plants usually grow with the roots and main stems submerged. Notice the diagnostic seed pods (fruits) of the plant.
