Cottage Inn
So in the process of stitching the images together to
make the panorama of yesterday's image
there are a nuber of stages along the way. (Or, to be technical
for the cartographers out there, different projections).
Taking the flat images to represent a spherical view of the world
and then projecting them back on to your flat monitor is not unlike
making a flat map out of the round globe. Of course, along the way
there is room for a little bit of creativity.

Cottage Inn
Well, there were some technical difficulties
with publishing to the site so I'm sorry for the wait!
I have quite a few images that should
be posted in the near future, but with several big projects and
tax day (what fun!) it has been hard to get to the maintenance of my site.
A few days ago we were in Pismo Beach for a project.
When I went out to get breakfast the morning fog was just breaking up.
I thought about skipping breakfast to take pictures, but
I finally thought better of it so I would have some energy for the
drive home. (Besides they have REALLY good waffles.)
The timing was perfect though. This was right after breakfast.
All of the clouds in this shot are actually wispy remnants of
the morning costal fog. They are almost close enough that you could reach out
and touch them.
Not 20 minutes later the fog was back thicker than ever.

Santa Barbara Harbor Sunset view from the Breakwater
Another beautiful sunset and another massive image.
If you look closely you can see stearns wharf in the image off to the right.
(if you have Flash 9 installed, you can use the up arrow to zoom in)

Santa Barbara Courthouse Clocktower View
This was the same day as the recent Mission shot.
It was also the day of the grand reopening of the Granada theatre on state street.
That is what the giant tent is for in the gardens in this image.
Aparently the reception was at the Courthouse.
I actually thought of taking a shot of the Granada, but
apparently it was not a priority to get ALL of the boards
off the windows before opening night. Of course, those were
the office windows and they were probably not very noticable after dark.
At any rate, it was a fun day of shooting!
