This is a sort of funny photo for technical reasons. You get a pretty good idea of how panorama photos work. This was snapped, so to speak, near the pond at the nature center adjacent to the Shaker Heritage Society property in Colonie. The idea is that when you make the panorama you turn around in a circle while holding the camera steady. The clever software stitches the photo components together so that when displayed you get a 360 degree view.
In the example here, you can see that the image is somewhat distorted and that the center of the image is almost like a “V” where the arms of the V go off at about a 40 degree angle. In fact, this central point is not at all like a V in real life. If you go there you will see exactly what I mean.
If you look closely at the left side of the photo you will see Anita walking Annaleigh and Maggie. It looks like she has six dogs, but, in fact, Anita has only two. It is really a strange effect.
