Caption

This is to commemorate my very first spherical panorama. The original image was made using a Minolta A200 and took 34 shots, the nodal point was off and there were about fifty ducks swimming around. The second time, there were no ducks and improvements in blending software and touch-up work techniques produced a better image (see wwp1206: Best of 2006 : Lake Merritt). This time, I'm using a Nikon D200 w/ 10.5mm lens, shooting (8 + 1 hand-held) at the 'Beginnings' of the day with lots of ducks around.

Thanks to Yuval Levy for theme idea.
