KAP gear and photo targets by Nathan Craig from the GigaPan Cuchirrumi1 Sunken Plaza by Nathan Craig

The photo targets appear "blown out" because I photographed the site a high noon and the targets are made out of a highly reflective material. It might be useful to have non-reflective targets for working during the noon hour.

Loss of light by Nathan Craig from the GigaPan Mleisa 1 Fossil Track Site by Nathan Craig

To improve the lighting, the track site was photographed late in the day. Raking light helps to define the low relief footprints. However, the rapidly setting sun also translated into a loss of light late in the making of this panorama. The camera was set with a fixed exposure. Perhaps I should have allowed the exposure to change with each shot. Suggestions for improvement are welcome.
