panoramic
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008I got a new cell phone and it has this really sweet panorama photo function. This happened to coincide with a couple of busy weekends out and about, so here are some photos that I took. If you really look at them, you can find the awkward spots where the three pictures overlap. But in general, the algorithm they use works damn well.
Here’s a shot from left field of U.S. Cellular park, for a White Sox-Red Sox game. The guy’s head in front of me got a bit messed up by the photo merging process, but the grassy stripes on the baseball field look good.
Jenn’s cousin and her boyfriend visited this last weekend, so we got out to do lots of Chicago stuff. The point was beautiful and I got a bit of swimming in. This was the weekend of the Air & Water show, so there were lots of jets buzzing overhead, and we could see the exhaust trails of planes doing acrobatics over Navy Pier.
Finally, we have the highlight of Millennium Park — Cloud Gate a.k.a. the Bean. I felt pretty touristy, snapping pictures there on a Sunday afternoon, but it looks so cool. Looking at this picture closely, I think that the girl in the blue dress just to the right of the sculpture shows up three times!
