What does the man on the blue exercise ball see when he looks around the recording studio of the TWiT Cottage? See for yourself! If you log in on GigaPan.org you can take a "snapshot" and comment on items of interest around the studio. It might be interesting to see how many of these can be linked to references in...

This is a thin section of dunite, a rock made up almost entirely of the mineral olivine, as seen in cross-polarized light through a Leica Z6 APO Macroscope. There is a band of black mineral grains to the left of center of the image that is a cumulate layer of the mineral chromite - in the magma chamber from which thes...

Originally intended to be about twice as wide, my Gigapan Beta unit contracted the deadly Whirling Dervish/Spiral of Death disease upon completing column number 38. (Fear not, it's fixed now - a relatively low tech solution, I simply "unwound" the robot. Aaahh, the joys of Beta testing!) Nonetheless, the resulting...

Seastacks and coastal terraces beside the Pacific Coast Highway between Bodega Head and Jenner, California. To the best of my knowledge this GigaPan is the world's first full gigapixel anaglyph image. In order to view the image in 3D you'll need a pair of red/blue anaglyph glasses (you may have a pair in your colle...

This GigaPan was shot early in the morning from the Windy Ridge viewpoint in the eastern portion of Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. At 1900 input images it took two hours to shoot and almost a full day to stitch on my brand new workstation. But the result is all I had hoped for and more. Now that I've fin...

The mushrooms were feeling the "fierce urgency of now" as spring began to warm the FHSU campus. While this isn't exactly what I'd call a macro Gigapan, I have been trying to experiment with smaller fields of view. This one worked extremely well with autofocus rather than fixed focus enabled. The detail is really p...

In many ways, this view of Lower Yellowstone Falls has superior lighting as compared to the one that I shot the previous day (www.gigapan.org/gigapans/30677/). In particular, and thanks to the tip from professional photographer Roger Devore (www.devorephoto.com
), who was set up immediately to my right, t...-
