A new first

OnOrbit has a nice article about the highest GigaPans ever taken from the surface of the earth, thanks to Scott Parazynski- both an astronaut and now an Everest climber.

Pine Ridge Camp

I am back from National Geographic Photo Camp in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, part of the Lakota Nation lands. The time there was, in many ways, life-changing. We have greatly enjoyed collaborating with National Geographic to bring both DSLRs and Gigapan equipment to the students there. For a taste of their panoramic productions so far, the tag to look for is pineridge.

One fun challenge. This pano has a rattlesnake in it. Really. Can you find it?

Gigapan Magazine issue 2

GigaPan Magazine has just published its second issue: South Pole. It is a wonderful exploration. Thanks to Ella Derbyshire, our guest editor, who is a frequent gigapanner and the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station Physician. Enjoy.

And I'm back from South Africa, so I look forward to posting again.
Elephants are something I saw there. Along with the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve.

Curated Iran set

In these very trying times in Iran, our thoughts are with the citizens of that country and we have curated a set of GigaPan panoramas taken in Iran onto our front page to help humanize the places and people of that country.
