The forecast was ⛅ until noon. This is what the actual weather turned out to be:
The panorama vividly captures the swift weather change, with the shadow gradually fading in the final pictures, creating an eerie emptiness.
And the Cybertruck nearly obscured Mount Rainier.
After last week’s abrupt stop due to clouds and wind, I finally got the chance to pick up where I left off. Today couldn’t have been more different—clear skies, warm light, and perfect conditions for capturing the panoramas I had planned.
The elders say the sky speaks to those who listen. I stood on sacred ground, raised my hand to the wind, and the eagle came—gliding from the sunlit heights, answering the silent call of the tribe. In that moment, the spirit of the sky revealed itself, and I captured its flight in a single frame.
In moving traffic, it's always possible that vehicles are only partially captured. To prevent this, multiple shots were taken, which were also used to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. In this case, not all images are fully connected to each other via control points. Only the original images are.
The duplicate images are then linked only via control points. This makes everything much simpler.

cPicture map
To create the map in cPicture, enter the following in the search box at the upper right:
360x180.jpg %gps=1
This search performs two functions:
360x180.jpg matches all panorama images with filenames ending in this pattern. Adjust this part if a different naming convention is used.
%gps=1 filters for images that contain GPS metadata.
After the matching images appear, select them all and click the map icon in the toolbar to generate the map.
For landscape-style panoramas, a nodal adapter on a tripod isn't necessary. However, with close objects like the guard rail, a nodal adapter is recommended. ↩
In panorama photography, the nadir is the point directly below the camera. PTGui's viewpoint correction makes handheld nadir pictures easy to stitch. ↩
This panorama was captured from 7 vantage points on the observation platform.
Almost like The Tower Panorama.
A total of eight images were used to create the panorama. One additional shot (#4) was taken moments later to capture a boat that had just entered the scene. Since this image was slightly out of alignment, it was registered to the first frame using control points and selectively masked to seamlessly integrate the boat into the final composition.
Last year, the waterfront project was still under construction (see
Seattle Waterfront Park Project).
Now, it has been completed and is open to the public as the Seattle Overlook Walk, connecting the iconic Public Market with the Aquarium.

Seattle Overlook Walk 1
In the early morning, the fog drifts over the Puget Sound, creating a serene and mystical atmosphere.
Early mist at the backside of the Ocean Pavilion.
It looks stunning at night with the illuminated steps (check out the gallery at waterfrontseattle.org). In this panorama, however, it feels more like a foggy London crime scene from an Edgar Wallace movie.
Taken a few minutes later from main Overlook Walk, with the fog still lingering.

Seattle Public Market
The Pike Place Market has been alive for over a century (since 1907) and has remained unchanged. Its resilience is evident in its ability to withstand the test of time, adapting to various economic and social changes while preserving its unique character and charm. Despite challenges such as modernization, economic fluctuations, and urban development, the market has continued to thrive, serving as a vibrant hub for local vendors and visitors alike.
Dieses Bild wurde aus zwei Aufnahmen erstellt, die aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln, Brennweiten und Entfernungen gemacht wurden.
Die Schritte mit PTGui sind einfach:
- automatisch Kontrollpunkte erstellen lassen, und alle Kontrollpunkte außerhalb des interessanten Bereiches (Tellers) entfernen
- ohne parameter a, b und c optimieren, also nur Blickwinkel und Gier-, Nick- und Rollwinkel, damit werden die verschiedenen Brennweiten automatisch erkannt und korrekt zusammengefügt
Die Bereiche in Fokus zur Verwendung grün malen (rote Bereiche dagegen werden ausgeschlossen):
Dadurch werden nur die jeweils scharf abgebildeten Bereiche verwendet:
