Day 5

It was the last day of camp. In order for the stdents to see how the gigapan stitcher combines the images I printed out photographs of the gigapan with the students and their paperbags. The students pieced them together like a puzzle and immediately noticed how the images tended to overlap. They worked together very well and were able to find any extra photographs.
After that I wanted to show them how the macro setting on the camera could take a close-up gigapan. They created a landscape made with paper, string, Play-Doh and yellow cotton balls. They creatively worked together to set up an interesting landscape. Then we took a gigapan of the landscape.
