Panoramas on the Way

As a follow-up to my first effort at a high-resolution, panoramic photo, I made sure to take a couple more while on vacation. It'll take a couple days to stitch them together, but I'm looking forward to the results.

• A view of the Seattle skyline and Lake Union, including Capitol Hill, downtown, the Space Needle, Queen Anne, and Gasworks Park in the foreground. This one was fun because the park will look deserted - although when I took the photos, there were several dozen people milling around below me. I just waited until they walked out of frame before taking the photos.
• The beautiful bright blue Kailua Bay from Makapu‘u Point, including the Ko‘olau Pali and Waimanalo.
• The windward side of O‘ahu, overlooking the Maunawili Valley on a rare clear day.

As a teaser, here's a annotated video panorama of the last one.
