Treasure Island Pan
Kite Aerial Photography
Treasure Island was built on the shoals north of Yerba Buena Island for the Golden Gate International Exposition in 1939 and 1940. At the time it was the world's largest man made island (1 mile long) and hosted elaborate temporary and permanent structures and nearly a million flowering plants from around the world.
It was initially intended that the long term use would be an airport for Pan Am's commercial sea planes. Two original hangers are visible next to the protected bay between Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island in this panorama. However, because of WWII it was quickly converted for training and radio work by the US Navy (see barracks in my Treasure Island Set). It is currently owned by San Francisco and businesses and housing are starting to replace the former Naval Base. The Island (and the north half of Yerba Buena Island) will be redeveloped over the next few decades. The hangers are currently used as TV and movie studios. This is the location where The Matrix's slow-motion shots were made.
The funny thing is I set up pictures for a 480 degree pan and photoshop just merged it into a 360. The two end points were in the middle of the image above. There are some minor stitching errors but basically the camera wasn't moving.
