Wiley’s Crossing

I discovered this ATV suspension bridge over the stream to Quakish Lake while driving around in Millinocket, Maine after a photo assignment. It looked like an interesting subject for a spherical panorama. I took 270 photos covering 10 exposures in 27 positions to stitch the panorama. I had to start over a couple times to stay out of the way of ATV and foot traffic, but with a little patience I found a five minute window of opportunity to shoot the whole sphere. I don’t usually include myself in my panoramas, but since the bridge would vibrate whenever I moved I decided to just stand still for a self portrait.
