Life in Inuvik, Northwest Territories

Panoramas

Here is a section of digitally ’stitched’ photos, which create panoramic views.

I really enjoy this technique! It’s the same as overlapping printed shots to create a poster.

The program is called “Double Take,” and I highly recommend it.

The community’s ski trails double as walking trails in the summer.

AND NOW, the VERTICAL PANORAMAS:

    Thanks Carla,

    It takes no special skill, I use a program called “doubletake” which does all the work. All you need to do is hold the camera steady, turn, click, turn, click, etc.

    Inuvik! Those pictures all tell the tale of my four summers up there! It was like a trip down memory lane! Gotta love Inuvik!

    I lived in Inuvik from 1962-1968 . The population at that time was around 1500. It doesn’t look as tho much has changed since then. The “row” houses were not the brightly painted ones that you show here,but more pastel shades. I loved living there, and when I see these pictures it brings back a lot of memories. It was a wonderful place to live, and I would not have missed it for anything.
