GigaPixels: Alaska at rANCH Art Show

General December 18th, 2008

Art show at the RaNch

Back in October I showed three works from my GigaPixels: Alaska and Vancouver series at the cATaClysMic mEgaSHear rANCh (a detail of one of my pieces made it onto the flyer). The first was a panorama that I shot in Hope, Alaska starting around 11pm on July 7, 2007. I printed it in three sections totaling about 8 feet wide. The composite panorama is composed from 88 individual images taken using a GigaPan imager system. The blended image is 470 megapixels captured over 5 minutes. With the sun slowly arcing across the horizon the sky would blaze with colours for hours. The printed image is a refined version of my online Hope, Alaska GigaPan.

The second composite image, “July 1, 2007″ was shot at a beach outside Vancouver on Canada Day. Instead of blending the images to give the illusion of a single captured moment each of the 180 individual photographs are arranged in a mosaic with each captured instant given it’s own rectangle.

The third piece, “Vancouver Arrival” is a 1420 frame “successive instant” video of driving and arrival in the city of Vancouver.

GigaPixels Alaska - Behind the Scenes

I have some behind the scenes photos of the printing process. Since the panorama was in sections it fit on the back of my motorcycle!

I’m interested in showing the pieces again. If you know an opportunity please contact me.
