ou wouldn't think a basketry company would need a seven-story office building. I like that it's out in a field, not surrounded by other high-rises ...

That 68,000mm lens really comes in handy sometimes! ;-)

Very nice stop-motion shot (very sharp for that shutter speed!), and the relatively shallow DOF works well.

Without the context of knowing something about the event, but just looking at the position and compositional relationship of the major elements of the photo, that (diving headfirst at a wooden rail) looks like a really dumb thing to do. ;-)

Excellently done, especially for handheld. Even with a pan/tilt head (with levels), it's hard to get a perfectly horizontal pan action.

If you want more foreground or sky (or just higher resolution), remember that you can shoot with the camera in portrait orientation and still stitch them, and also that you can take two or three rows of images zoomed in closer -- AutoStitch will work in two dimensions.

I note you list the shutter times as "various" -- usually when shooting panoramics for stitching you should shoot in manual mode at the same settings throughout, or you can get uncorrectable banding (especially across flat areas like a blue sky).

Good idea to use the "random" arrangement for this topic! The outline/profile rather resembles a big fish ... :-)

I notice you seem to extend your spirals through more steps than I've been experimenting with -- can make for a smoother effect ... these designs with a few flecks of color seem to work well.

Thanks for sharing the technique for generating these spiral patterns! :-)

I like the composition, but the lighting/contrast seems a bit harsh.

Interesting treatment (of my favorite kind of pear) but just a little dark (on my monitor) for my taste.
