Some of my personal favorite Pasty Cams are the panoramic views. Which years have featured such a wide angle view on this day?

It looks like its 1998, 2003 and 2008

Good Friday morning, finally!!!
Those shots were in 1998 and today (2012).

The answer we were looking for

OK, 1998 and 2008 plus today...

I don't believe 2008 is a panorama, jbuck, although I could be wrong (it has happened before...)

I agree with the Capt on this one, but whatever kind of view they are, they're spectacular!

I agree with Deb. Incredible slideshow this morning! As always, thanks to the artists behind the lenses and to the Pasty Cam crew for bringing them all to us. Have a beautiful fall day, everyone!

I agree with Deb.
Well, Deb, we didn't make it this morning.;>

Capt, this is what it shows for 2008 in the review:

Sunday, October 12
PASTYVISION
From the pre-digital camera era, the view at the top of Brockway looking toward Agate Harbor and Eagle Harbor. Shoebox Memory from Michele Mukavetz.

atta way jbuck! stand your ground! lol!

LOL Janie!

I'm just sooooooo confused!!!

LOL, I'm crushed! How 'bout you, Shirley?? Guess I won't go losing any sleep over it:-)

Deb, I think the ONLY way I can earn the bird is when I can beat Charlie to the draw....meaning when I can get 'here' before he does.;)
But you're right, no sleep to be lost over a bunch of feathers.;> (just kiddin', Charlie)

Ok I concede; jbuck is correct!! I was looking at a different page w/o the "PastyVision" tag on it, but I found the page she refers to and sure enough, there it is.....

I guess my mind is wrapped around Sunday night and the Packers/Texans matchup in Reliant. (which btw; I'm wearing my Packers jersey today at work in a hostile environment!!) J

Very gracious of you Capt!

And even bringing up football you didn't mention a certain college game played last weekend..... i appreciate that too!

1998 is not a panoramic picture.

I meant the 2008 picture is not panoramic, because the picture was taken in 1998. pre digital...

1993 i meant. (just having a very rough morning)

mickill ~

1993?

not sure what camera was used back then, but there are non-digital panaramic cameras on the market...

There were and still are film panoramic cameras out there, not to mention 35mm SLR camera as well. It's just the 2008/1993 photo is not a true panoramic, but a wide-angle shot looking down the Mid-Continent Rift. So in a way we were both correct. ;-)

And I didn't even realise Tech beat NMU in football last weekend to retain the Miners Cup. I guess I need to pay more attention to MTU sports but with hockey starting last night, I'll be tuned to Mix 93 more often now....

Both mickill and jbuck are correct. Here's how: The picture sent to us was a single viewpoint, conventional photo. When we posted it, it was cropped to a panoramic aspect ratio. Thus, it was not taken as a panoramic picture, but indeed appeared as:

Go to previous yrs. of Past Cam. Go to 2008 and click that on. Then go down to Pasty Vision and take a look at the picture and let me know what ya' think. You will also see someone in the picture.

I had a camera that took three (3) different sizes of pictures, to panoramic. It took Advantix film. I loved that camera and for yearsssssss it took lots of pictures. I still have the camera but no film. I know I could probably get film of the computer somwhere, but I am use to the digital camera now.

Capt. Paul - Wear your Packer colors with Pride! I were my Packer Superbowl T-shirts and Jerseys every Friday (or game day) to my office in the Chicago area.... I'm well known in Bear country! GO PACK GO PASTY!!

off the computer....

Capt., watch out for those steel-toed boots at work! Lots of folks wear 'em, you know.....especially in Texas.;>
As the saying goes..."Don't mess with Texas!"

Are you kidding Shirley, I mess with Texas all the time, and usually get away with it!! ;-)
