Gigapan Panoramic Pictures - 2009

[TotalChaos]

Ok, so none of my other pictures turned out quite as great as I wanted, but I still think they're nice. ... I forgot to keep some of the camera settings constant, so that why some pics have a more yellow tint, others more blueish.

Main hall leading to the pits:

(.33 gigapixels)

The Dome (From Curie/Archi side... I'm not sure what happened in the middle, maybe I bumped the camera):

(.46 gigapixels)

Curie Division:

Archimedes Division:

(.42 gigapixels)


I had planned on taking some pictures of the huge crowd and Einstein during the finals, however, the team of the mentor I was borrowing the Gigapan from did not make it to the finals and the mentor wanted to get some Gigapan pictures of his own. From what he told me he got a great picture - that he estimated to be 1.5gigapixels - during the finals. I'm not sure he frequents ChiefDelphi enough to pickup on this thread and post his picture, so I'll try to get a link to it from him once he stitches it.

So, that's all the pictures I was able to take... Hopefully next year I'll have my camera better figured out and get some better quality, higher resolution pictures (most of these were taken with between 2x and 4x zoom, my camera goes up to 10x)

Anyways, enjoy!

(if anyone else had a Gigapan they took to nationals, please feel free to post your pictures here too!)

This is really, really cool. Thanks for sharing!

I really hope you're coming to IRI... we could use some gigapans too. Albert is ready for his closeup.

I'v never been to IRI as a participant or a spectator, but I'd love to go! I'll see what I can do! I'll try to get the Gigapan out there if I can go.

Hmmm... I wonder what the team member was saying to the Curie head ref while he was pointing to their legs

I saw Dave Lavery playing around with something on top of a ladder during the Einstein playoffs. Does anyone know if that was a gigapan taking pictures of the crowd?

Yes, Dave had his Gigapan equipment there. I'm sure we'll see something posted about it in the near future.

Where is the shot that Dave Lavery took of the stands while he stood at einstein?
