twinpeak-50.jpg
(3383 x 600 - 319K)
The full panorama is 8264 x 1466. (41.3 x 7 inches at 200DPI) (Slice at Full-Resolution)

Much of San Francisco, from Twin Peaks. 50mm lens. Golden Gate bridge on the left, and the dirigible hangers of Mountain View are just visible in the distant haze on the right.


shasta-castle.JPG
(3024 x 600 - 272K)
The full panorama is 4923 x 977. (24.6 x 5 inches at 200DPI) (Slice at Full-Resolution)

Mount Shasta and Black Butte, from the road up to Castle Lake, July 4, 1999. Taken with Pentax P&S, so some problems with vignetting. Shasta usually has more snow. This was a lighter year.


angel-night.jpg
(2269 x 600 - 88K)
The full panorama is 5396 x 1427. (27.0 x 7 inches at 200DPI) (Slice at Full-Resolution)

San Francisco and the Bay Bridge taken from Treasure Island at night. I screwed this one up -- it goes all the way around to Sausalito but I had just bought my new "L" lens that day and screwed up the focus.


bridge-vista.jpg
(4463 x 600 - 246K)
The full panorama is 10658 x 1433. (53.3 x 7 inches at 200DPI) (Slice at Full-Resolution)

San Francisco and the Golden Gate bridge taken from the Golden Gate Bridge vista point. A freighter sails out through the gate. Fog creeps into the City in this summer shot from June, 2000.


marin-head-low.jpg
(2116 x 600 - 121K)
The full panorama is 5127 x 1454. (25.6 x 7 inches at 200DPI) (Slice at Full-Resolution)

San Francisco and Golden Gate Bridge from Marin Headlands. Fog rolls in over the Sunset District.


silval01-mod.jpg
(900 x 600 - 115K)
The full panorama is 5334 x 3556. (18.0 x 12 inches at 296DPI) (Slice at Full-Resolution)

Not a panorama, but a shot taken during my efforts to get a good Silicon Valley panorama. This shot however has been enhanced to remove the haze, to show what San Jose would look like if there were no pollution. Next winter, I will shoot a decent panorama like this.


burney2.jpg
(2260 x 600 - 249K)
The full panorama is 6883 x 1828. (34.4 x 9 inches at 200DPI) (Slice at Full-Resolution)

Burney Falls, dubbed the 8th wonder of the world (along with many other wonders of course) is still quite pretty. The falls tumble over porous volcanic rock, so the water seeps out all over the rock wall around the falls. This 180 degree shot, hand-held with Pentax, shows the river bending off to the right but in fact it goes downstream as you might think.


quimbypan.jpg
(4481 x 600 - 353K)
The full panorama is 18990 x 2543. (89.6 x 12 inches at 211DPI) (Slice at Full-Resolution)

This giant image was taken with Fuji Velvia from the top of Quimby Road at noon during the winter green season. It shows all of Silicon Valley. You can even see San Francisco, over 50 miles away, through the haze on the far right of the picture.
