Panoramas

  • See Also: Full list of all Panoramas for all trips, Panorama Gallery for this Trip (112 pictures)

Panoramas are several pictures that have been stitched together. They are spectacular wide-angle views that are hard to achieve with a single photo. Select a thumbnail below in the file column to view the file. You may wish to print a copy or use it as background wallpaper on your computer. To save space, most pictures have been downsized to at most 1600 pixels tall and saved at a reduced quality. They will make fine small sized prints, though you may want the originals if you want to print at 8x10 or larger. Many of the originals are 50-100 mega pixels in size. In this case, please contact the owner for a copy.

The Panoramas in this table are the best ones selected from our 2005 Australia Trip Panorama Gallery (112 pictures).

Videos

  • See Also: Full list of Videos for all trips

We've taken several short video clips. Video is a great way to show a landscape, capture the sounds of wildlife, and the merriment of friends. Each of these video clips is short in length, and has been saved as a windows .wmv file. You should be able to stream play the file without having to download the whole thing before watching it. The videos are either 640x480 or 320x240. Note these files are large and may slow down your internet connection a bit while playing. We may remove them from our web site after a few weeks to avoid running out of space.
