This panorama captures Eric Maddox throwing out the ceremonial first pitch of the college basebal game between Rice University and Stephen F. Austin.
Staff Sgt. Eric Maddox is famous for the fact that he was instrumental in tracking down and capturing Saddam Hussein who as we remember was hiding in a hole under a trap door at the back of a farm in Tikrit, Iraq in 2003. This incredible story can be read via this link: tinyurl.com/EricMaddox001
Also pictured in this epic panorama are the two teams, Rice Owls and the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks, and a U.S. Marine Corps Color Guard.This panorama was taken with a Nikon D7000 camera and the 18-105mm 3.5-5.3G ED lens and is comprized of 13 stitched photos, stitched with the GigaPan Stitcher software.
Thanks to the GigaPan Stitcher software, seeing it as a curved panorama on a curved surface via the "View in Google Earth 4.2 " link can be most memorable.

I tried to act quickly as there was some movement within the Owls, and the stitch looks good. I look forward to when we all travel to Bath for the first International GigaPan Technical Conference where we all learn from each other: www.gigapan.org/gigapans/29567/ and www.gigapan.org/gigapans/9168/ and www.gigapan.org/gigapans/19998/ and www.gigapan.org/gigapans/75904/ and www.gigapan.org/gigapans/74383/ and www.gigapan.org/gigapans/76227/ and www.gigapan.org/gigapans/20104/

Thanks Tom, This is a continuing series of panoramas taken at Reckling Park. The last one, www.gigapan.org/gigapans/75478/ I was happy with as I am with this most recent one; however, I got beat up pretty bad on a dpreview blog: forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.as p?forum=1034&message=38263041
This time around, I
have yet to see any complaints from dpreview: forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.as
