(above) Greater Los Angeles
Basin. The images in this panorama were taken from Culver
City Park, near downtown Los Angeles, on 23 July 2004. Note the
correlating
Topanga Park Reference Point. This is the approximate vantage point
from which the Parker Mesa panorama was taken. On this day, the visibility
was excellent for this area (unlike the Parker Mesa imaging day). I'm still
working on the distortions caused by exposure and angular differences
currently visible in the compositing "frames". The individual images
that comprise this composite were not taken with the intention of panoramic
imaging per se (but I am improving my technique!) . High-resolution versions
of this image -- with or without text labels -- are available free for
government
and educational institutions. Others may purchase print or file version.
