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.

One week later, and the sun finally showed up 🌞

After last week's abrupt stop due to clouds and wind, I finally got the chance to pick up where I left off. Today could not 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.

At the Montlake Bridge: A Century of Connection

The Montlake Bridge, a historic drawbridge opened in June 1925, connects the University District with the Montlake neighborhood across the Montlake Cut.

In moving traffic, it is 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.

View from the other side of the canal.

GPS map

To create the GPS map in cPicture, select the pictures with GPS data and click the map icon in the toolbar.
To get all panoramic images with GPS, 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 search completes, select all images from the search result to display on the map.

For landscape-style panoramas, a nodal adapter on a tripod is not 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.

Seattle Overlook Walk

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.

View from the Pike Place Market:

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.
