Here it is, for no other reason than that Father Pitt was trying out the in-camera panorama stitching in his Kodak EasyShare Z1485 IS. It seems to work well, within its limits: it reduces the resolution of the individual pictures, so that the overall panorama is about 10 megapixels, whereas an individual picture is saved at 14-megapixel resolution. But even at the smaller size, the final picture is large and detailed: click on it to enlarge it to full size.
Ice forms on the surface of Father Pitt’s favorite little stream in Mount Lebanon, but the water continues to flow underneath. Old Pa Pitt visited this little stream yet again with his oldest digital camera to prove to himself that a thirteen-year-old brick could still take a decent picture. It can. It is a bit amusing to think of a thirteen-year-old camera as “old,” since old Pa Pitt seldom used a film camera that was younger than thirty years old, and often used cameras approaching their century mark. But in digital photography, thirteen years takes us back to the Neolithic Age.
Nothing happens in this video. It is six minutes of snow silently falling against restful woodland backdrops. Think of it as a slide show with moving pictures.
Banksville Plaza is cut into a rocky hill, creating a sheer cliff face behind the shopping center. In the winter, ice coats the cliff face, creating this fascinating vertical landscape.
