Geotagged photos from Prince of Wales Island, Alaska

We had a long weekend to explore the Northern section of Prince of Wales Island, Alaska - May 29 through May 31, 2009. I have posted a few of the images from this trip on my Picasa Web Album page. Each album and each photo is geotagged and you can view them on a Google Map and also in Google Earth. (However, for the Macintosh, Picasa web apparently does not let you view the images in Google Earth. This does work for a Windows PC .)


I am working on a Google Earth 5 narrated tour for each of these days and will post notices here when they are ready.



Gigapan Photos Southeast Alaska and British Columbia

I shot and have produced several Gigapan images that allow you to zoom in to see telephoto details from a recent trip through Canada to Ketchikan and Prince of Wales Island in Alaska. You can see these on my Gigapan web site page.

Please note on the web page above you can view these Gigapan Photos in a full screen mode for a higher quality image. There is also an option to view these images in the 3D Google Earth browser where they line up almost exactly with the horizon and direction of view.

One example showing the downtown harbor area and mountains near downtown Ketchikan is embedded below.


Another Gigapan below shows Labouchere Bay on the Northern part of Prince of Wales Island.
