Central Park complete

I took another Central Park panorama, similar to “Moon over Central Park,” only with higher resolution, and only 180 degree, instead of 270 degree view and 4 blocks north of the previous park panorama. I think one can see a couple of more things in the park. Let me know which one you prefer, this or “Moon over Central Park” (this one has also a moon).

Digital, each about 550 megapixel.

Coney Island (Part 1)

I was a bit panik-stricken: Coney Island was about to make way for new developments, and I haven’t been down there taking panoramas. So I grabbed my gear and went down there, at least 2 times by now. Then I read that the amusement park will get another season, which gives me a bit more time to be more thorogh with my panoramas. Especially the Cyclone is difficult to capture.

Encampment on Roosevelt Island

Thom Sokolosky and his team created the second encampment, basically a gigantic outdoor group art show for local artists. Each artist is assigned a tent, which are similar to those from the civil war and lit up with a small light source. The reception was phenomenal, I think over 10000 people visited the encampment over the course of the weekend (it was open until 1am each night). An of course, Manhattan looks great from Roosevelt Island, and I liked the opportunity to finally take some panoramas from that location, since the park usually closes at sunset.

5 more panoramas after the break.

Digital, each about 50 megapixel.
