I've written extensively elsewhere about Burning Man. Here are my best panoramas from it. Other pictures can be found in the photo-essays of my 1998 Burning Man trip and my 1999 Burning Man trip.
They are famous because they are also the largest. The two narrow ones are 30,000 pixels wide, as big as you can make in Photoshop, and that's not even scanned at full resolution!

A wide angle (24mm) 360 degree view of Black Rock City 1999. The man himself is on the left but he's down, being loaded with explosives for the burn that (Saturday) night.

A 330 degree view, close up (90mm lens landscape) of Black Rock City in 1998. The missing 30 degrees contains the man because we ran out of film. This was early in my tripod shooting days and it was shot with a Pentax point and shoot camera. I have this at 21 feet long. The man was down, as you can see in the lower-res, wide-angle shot below.
This was my first film BRC panorama, and as such I devoted a special page to it and others from 98 after I created it. You can see it there at even more resolution.

Here's the narrow shot of BRC in 1999. It's a full 360 at 85mm focal length, portrait orientation. I have this one printed 24 feet long -- it's astounding. You can see almost everything in the city, and even the town of Gerlach in the distance in the middle.

A 200 degree panorama on Highway 50 in Nevada. Dubbed "The Loneliest Highway in America" in the 50s by Life Magazine, it uses this as a tourist slogan today. Not quite as lonely, but still bleak and beautiful.
