Fountain of the Giants in Granada

Wed, 17 Oct 2012 11:54:16 Z

by MagiView "The Fountain of the Giants, also called Fountain of Neptune, was built in the 16th century originally in an Augustin convent Granada (Andalucia, Spain). Following the demolition of the convent, the fountain was reinstalled in several places, till it ended on Plaza Bibarrambla (Bib-Rambla Place) in 1940. The Bib-Rambla PLace is now a favorite tourist spot with lots of cafés and restaurants. In Moorish times, it held festivals and jousts, and bullfights later in Christian times. This is a pano of 3 photos shot hand held, using a Nikon D800 with a 28-300mm zoom at 55mm. It was stitched with ICE then reworked and uploaded with Photoshop."

by MagiView "The first 360° pano shot on Mars by rover Curiosity from its landing point. I have filled up the sky and fiddled the colors to make Mars look like a sunny beach... This is a 360° pano stitching 140 photos shot by the rover's 34-millimeter Mast Camera. 130 photos were shot on sol 3 (the 3rd Martian day of Curiosity's mission, i.e. 8 August 2012), and the remaining 10, containing Mount Sharp, were shot on sol 13 (18 August). Photos downoaded from http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?s=3 for sol 3 and from http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?s=13 for sol 13.

Granada and the Alhambra

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 15:37:36 Z

by MagiView "This is a late afternoon view of Granada (Andalusia, Spain) and its Alhambra from the viewpoint "Mirador San Nicolas" in the Albayzín district (see a sunset view of this viewpoint at http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=098383b0-9157-403d-87d9-e51dac9cfdba). The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada on the top of the hill of the Assabica on the city's southeastern border. Construction started during the mid 10th century by the Berber ruler Badis ben Habus of the Kingdom of Granada in al-Andalus. Later, Islamic palaces were built for the last Muslim Emirs of the Nasrid dynasty. After the Reconquista by the Catholic kings in 1492, some portions were used by the Christian rulers. Notably, Charles V added a palace within the Nasrid fortifications in 1527. The Alhambra is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. See my pano of the Alhambra shot from the same viewpoint - at sunset: http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=bd1fdcd0-3324-4c13-a4e7-b176b2de5d28 - at dusk: http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=8a59684d-9af3-4ad2-8e1d-c3c7436a14d3 This is a pano of 7 photos shot hand held using a Nikon D800 with a 28-300mm zoom at 68mm. It was stitched with ICE then reworked and uploaded with Photoshop."

The Atomium in Brussels

Mon, 21 May 2012 09:07:30 Z

by MagiView "The Atomium was designed by André Waterkeyn and built for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. It stands 102 meters (335 ft) tall. It has nine steel spheres connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times. This is a stitch of 12 photos, shot 4.3 km away (2.7 miles) on a clear autumn day from the 34th floor of the Brusilia building, using a Nikon D7000 with a 600mm f4 lens and a x2 teleconverter. The ICE stitch was reworked then uploaded with Photoshop. Right of the Atomium is another Brussels landmark: The "Palais 5", an exhibition hall of the Heysel in Laken, built in 1935 for Brussels International Exposition (4.5 km away). Left of the Atomium, the Peizegem church, buit in 1871, which is 17 km away (11 miles)! I also shot a nighttime pano of the Atomium from the same location: see http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=951fcb90-4744-4600-8ef2-c9d354ded101"
