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.

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.

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.
