Mini Planet - Barton Dam

I shot this a couple days ago. This is Barton Dam near Ann Arbor Michigan.

This isn't exactly the shot I planned to shoot. I originally shot this standing above the dam in the center (which you can see in the shot), but after shooting the 360 degree panoramic and going up and down about 90 degrees, I had a lot of trouble making the panoramic out of it due to how complex the bottom of it was. After I shot it, I decided to go and shoot another one in the river in front here. It was just a last minute shot and I had to use a smaller image size because my memory card was getting full.

But in the end, I couldn't get my intentional shot working but I did get this one working, so it pays to shoot extra things

Anyway, this was shot by me standing in the river (in about two and a half feet of water) and doing a 360 degree horizontal and 90 degree vertical panoramic. It's a tad different than the other Mini Planets I've done, so that's why I like it.
