Cottage InnSo 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.California 92 | cloud 44 | fence 3 | High Dynamic Range Image 14 | ocean 58 | Pacific 9 | Pismo Beach 4 | sky 42 | view 4 | water 49 | wave 20 |

Cottage InnWell, 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 Courthouse Clocktower ViewThis 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!architecture 43 | California 92 | clocktower 6 | cloud 44 | courthouse 18 | High Dynamic Range Image 14 | Mediterranean architecture 17 | panorama 13 | panoramic 13 | Santa Barbara 108 | Santa Barbara Courthouse 1 | sky 42 | spanish tile 1 | Spanish-Mediterranean architecture 15 | tile 1 | tile roof 1 | view 4 | virtual reality 6 |
