Swim out past the breakers
Panorama of The Breakers mansion, in Newport, RI.
- 14 images stitched together in CS5
- 17-55mm Canon lens
- each image made inportrait orientation
- handheld, no support
- sky unedited, only edited the rest of the image for contrast etc
Looks a lot like a wide angle shot, wider than the 17mm used on a Canon 40D. At 17mm, where I was able to stand, the whole house wasn't even close to being in frame.
Of course, these places do not allow photography or video inside the mansions. For preservation. Yeah, right. Total bullshit of course, but then again, how many ignorant idiots and ordinary dumbasses don't know how to turn off the flash on their camera? Yes, all of them it would seem.

Check it out on black!
If you read this far, you're certainly interested in commenting, yes?

Crystal jelly
Aequorea victoria

"Graceful and nearly transparent, these jellies have long, delicate tentacles. When disturbed, they give off a green-blue glow because of more than 100 tiny, light-producing organs surrounding its outer bell. They can expand their mouths when feeding to swallow jellies half their size. They’re harvested for their luminescent aequorin, used in neurological and biological experiments to detect calcium."

Cliff Walk Panorama
The finished product from the previous post, A Work In Progress.
How do you think it turned out?
6 images in portrait orientation, to make a pano of this nice area of the Cliff Walk, in Newport, RI. Made using the truly fantastic 70-200 Canon lens (Version II). Merged in CS5. Handheld, no tripod or supports, so merging takes some extra effort.
I like how the curves from the left lead the eyes out to sea, and how the empty space there returns the eyes to the gazebo.
