Carolingian Aqueduct

Carolingian Aqueduct, originally uploaded by immauss.

September 19th was a local holiday, San Gennaro. I figured it would be a good day to strike out early and gets some photos before work, because there would be less traffic on my way in to work. That part of the plan worked out fine, but the clouds didn't really want to cooperate. I did spent about 2 hours crawling over the hills around this aqueduct looking for different angles to shoot from. This is one of my favorites, but there are more here.

Zoooooooooooooooomify

OK, This is something I have been waiting quite a while to do. Mainly because the atmospheric conditions need to be just right. Last week, it rained quite a bit on Tuesday. Consequently, Wednesday, was incredibly clear. After work, I went to the top of the parking garage, setup the camera, and started taking pictures. When I was done, I had taken 90 shots of Naples and Vesuvius. I plugged them all into the computer, and Voila!



Now, at this resolution, its not that impressive. It looks like any old panorama. But to see the real beauty of it all, you have to visit this link. Its a zoomify view of the original 155 Mega-pixel image. You can zoom all the way in to the top of Vesuvius to see the colors of the rocks sliding down the outside of the crater. Those 90 shots were all taken at highest zoom I had available, 135mm. The zoomify interface lets you zoom all the way in to the full resolution of the 90 shots.

Enjoy!

And yet more

I also pushed up a few pictures from recent photo shoots here in Naples. Mainly the Lago Satcom Fac shots. They were a request from last week and I needed to make them available...

More Pictures

Life's a little crazier than normal around here. I'm taking a college class in Italian. I guess its about time. I've been here 10 years this month. Wow, 10 years. Its hard to believe really. Of course at this point I feel like I have always been here. Anyway, we are moving in to the apartment above Diane's parent's house. Lots of work to do for that. It will be nice to be close to the family, and if the job here goes away, it will allow us to save a little more money.

There are more pictures up on Flickr from Dublin. If Telecom Italia wasn't so useless, I would have put even more Dublin pictures up this weekend. Of course, last week, Telecom was scheduled to come out and "Connect" our ADSL. (It was already working) But, they didn't tell us they were coming out. So we weren't here. So naturally, instead of calling us to reschedule, they assume we don't want it, and turn it off. This is the 3rd time they have done that to us. Its getting a little old at this point. . . .

Anyway, there are over 100 pictures from Dublin including maybe 15 Panoramas waiting to go up to Flickr as soon as I have some bandwidth.
