Hallstatt from Krippenstein, Dachstein

Sat, 04 Dec 2010 16:57:39 Z

by bvogl "This gigapixel panorama gives an overview of the Hallstatt area which is the eponym for the Hallstatt age and a world heritage area. See the navigation bar to learn about the features in the image. The reaon for the weird shape of this panorama is the way the panorama was taken: resting against the protruding rail of the "5 Fingers" catwalk on the Krippenstein: http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=334c1ad4-779b-473c-a71f-2e76ec5f0c6a - a very uncomfortable position. This - and the strong wind - accounts for some blurry regions in the panorama. I planned to shoot a better image later but didn't find the time for it till today..."

Spice Shop in the Souq of Aswan (Egypt) - 360° Panorama

Fri, 03 Dec 2010 00:14:18 Z

by ThomasKrueger.eu "The exotic atmosphere of Aswan’s back-street souqs is one of the city’s highlights. Although the fabulous caravans no longer pass this way, the colour and activity of these markets and stalls recall those romantic times. On wandering through the small, narrow alleyways one might see, hear, smell and taste life as it has been for many centuries. From the souq of Aswan, a visitor can pick up everything from scents, spices, perfumes and scarves, to baskets and fine alabaster. Although the shop owner looks quite grim, together with my guide Monzer from Aswan we had a lot of fun arranging the shop for taking the 360° panorama image."

Grand Canyon GigaView #17 Over Crystal

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 12:28:45 Z

by GigaView "In December of 1966, a historic storm sent debis flows, flash floods full of boulders with the consistancy of wet concrete, down many of the drainages in the Grand Canyon. Crystal Rapid was changed from a placid riffle into an enormous rapid with deadly consequences. High water events in 1983 and 1996 further transformed the rapid into what we see today. Run properly, Crystal is the least dramatic large rapid in the Canyon. One mistake can easily lead a raft into the large hole visible in this image. Rafts in this hole often flip over, which sends passengers and gear downstream into the Class 4 rapid and boulder field below where safe recovery can very difficult. Rafters use a narrow channel on river right to bypass the two large holes in Crystal, but bumping into shallow rocks can send a raft back into the current towards the hole.

Grand Canyon GigaView #24 Elves Chasm

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:41:53 Z

by GigaView "Located at River Mile 116.5, Elve's Chasm is a refreshing stop with a quick hike up to this slot canyon where one can swim, climb, and jump into the crystal clear pool. With shadows moving quickly and covering the swimming area, I was forced to over-expose the downstream view in order to get a good image of the waterfall. Several members of our party climbed above this falls to explore the beautiful side canyon further while I shot this GigaPan. The water is plenty cold in April, but very nice until my jump from the falls landed way too flat with a smack to my rear end. It had been a long time since my backside stung so badly.
