<p>A photograph is shaped more by the person behind the camera than by what's in front of it. <br/> To prove this we invited six photographers to a portrait session with a twist. ‘Decoy’ is one of six experiments from The Lab, designed to shift creative thinking behind the lens.</p>

<p>On Saturday I went to Bruce Peak (where the antenna farms are located) and shot a 184° panorama of the vista, from Gabriola Island to the north to Sidney Island to the South, with Salt Spring Island in the foreground and the Coast Mountains and Vancouver in the background.</p>

<p>Play with the control buttons, zoom in and out. Use the Full-Screen button</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.uricogan.com/qtvr" target="_blank">Click HERE to see the panorama</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Technical note:</p>
<p>300mm lens, Nikon D700 body, f10, 1/400sec. manual exposure.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The panorama is Stitched from 196 photos, taken in 4 rows of 49 images separated by 3.5°. Stitching all 200 images together created a giant 7 gigabyte image that was reduced after processing to a 352 Mb of over 4000 "tiles" that were uploaded to the server. The server will only deliver what is necessary to fill the screen with the best resolution available. With slow connections it may take a few seconds to fill the screen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If the entire panorama were to be printed at 300 dots per inch, it will be over 24 feet (7 meters) long.</p>Foggy Day, Ganges Harbourtag:ssphotog.ning.com,2011-03-29:3859646:BlogPost:662622011-03-29T19:00:00.000ZUri Coganhttps://ssphotog.ning.com/profile/UriCogan
