START BIG SLIDE SHOW (click here)
Photos by Michael Gordon, September 2007 using a Nikon D200 (10 megapixel) and 18-200 mm ED VR Nikkor zoom lens. Several panoramas exist made by stitching several images together. Sometimes two versions exist that are rather similar; they will be identified by "cylindrical" or "panoramic" projections or "equirectangular" projection. The latter is intended for virtual reality projection inside a smaller window in a web page. Choose the one that looks more pleasing. The cylindrical projection tends to expand things that are close to the top or bottom edges of the photo and the equirectangular projection does just the opposite.
The following pages constitute a slide show and photo selector.
The slide show itself is intended for sequential viewing of a collection of photographs.
Each page includes in its title bar, and underneath, the file name of the photo. This is useful when corresponding to someone about the photo.
To advance to the next photo: Clicking on the photo advances you to the next photo unless you are on a thumbnail or zoomed photo, in which case clicking it takes you to the 'normal' size.
Below each photo is a set of links (buttons) to advance, return, or exit the slide show.
To download an image: Right click the image and choose "save image as."
Each photo includes a button to ZOOM to a larger size. This size is intended to fill the screen for closer inspection, or for saving as a computer 'wallpaper', or for download to your disk for use in newsletters and other medium-resolution needs.
Each photo includes a button to zoom HUGE to the largest size. Use this to display the largest size before you save it for printing purposes.
A thumbnail gallery is available for visually selecting photos. If you choose this option, clicking a thumbnail puts you into the slide show at the photo chosen; from there the slide show proceeds with the remainder of the show.
