I’ve just added a new image to the high resolution Gigapixel panoramic photography gallery.
This panorama is one I captured in Yosemite, California, and I love the detail in the image. This dramatic mountain road is high above a valley, and after the tunnel drops down into Yosemite. When you zoom right in, you can see the small details in the trees and the cliffs. Click the link to view the Yosemite gigapixel panorama.

When I go on trips I always try to capture lots of virtual tour footage as well as taking panoramic shots. When I get back, often the project’s demands mean that all of the other shots are left dormant until I have time to work on them. (more…)
EXO2 – a glossy magazine for fashion and the arts has run a 12 page feature on some of my panoramas. The above image is from the cover of the magazine and shows my Hyde Park image in the background.

I travelled to Salvation Mountain. Having got lost on the way, I stopped in a back street in Niland and asked a young woman the way. She gave me perfect directions and said ‘Say “Hi” to Leonard for me.’ Everybody knows Leonard Knight.

The Salton Sea is an incredible place. An enormous inland sea, created by accident when irrigation went hopelessly wrong. The Americans did their best to make good of the disaster, marketing the Salton Sea as a holiday destination – which worked for a while.

I had time to spend visiting some of Southern California’s glorious beaches (Venice Beach, Santa Monica Beach and Malibu Beach to name a few that I remember!). These virtual tours and panoramas show some of the views on these famous beaches.

Another in my series of American panoramas, these virtual tours are from Death Valley National Park in California.

I have been working on the series of virtual tours and panoramas from my trips to the USA over the last year, and I’ll be adding some to the site over the next few days.
This shot is of a caravan I came across in the desert outside the ghost town of Bodie, California. It has seen some action – it looks like it has been used for shooting practice, and has been set alight at least once too. However, it’s holding out against the assaults for now.
