Panoramas

A collection of panoramic photos from all over the world. Some panoramas also have a link to a QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) version. These are often quite large and take several minutes to download, but the unique perspective of seeing from the photographers point of view is worth the time. It's like being there yourself. You will also need to download the QuickTime plugin from Apple to view it. Once downloaded, you can use your mouse to click and drag in any direction to view the entire image. You can also use keyboard cursor keys to scroll.

Vancouver
Panorama of Downtown Vancouver, BC and the Inner Harbour, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

This view of Vancouver no longer exists. The Inner Harbour now has boathouses where these docks once were. The skyline has more buildings, the boat traffic increased and the water never appears this calm now.

This photo is a 30-second exposure using a Hasselblad XPan. The resulting 65mm x 24mm image film positive was scanned using a Canoscan FS4000US film scanner.
