The summit is a landscape photographer&#8217;s dream and I never get tired of photographing it. If you haven&#8217;t already noticed, one of my favorite types of photos is the &#8221; panoramic&#8221; format such as the one that serves as the masthead of this site. Getting just a little technical here, these types of photos are created by shooting multiple overlapping shots as the camera is panned on a tripod and then putting the shots together with special software to create a single image. This allows the photographer to capture the full width of a landscape without using an ultra wide lens that usually distorts the perspective. This technique can be extended by panning the camera in a full circle to include a 360\u00b0 view from a specific location. Over the years I have created 360\u00b0 views from many places in the summit area. In this post I would like to share some of these views. The map below shows the location of each of the 360\u00b0 views and clicking on the camera icon will bring up a viewer page of the 360\u00b0 image. Please enjoy this visual tour of the summit area.<\/p>\n<p>(If you are interested in seeing 360\u00b0 images from other places you might want to check out my <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lamsonweb.com\/Galleries\/Panomania\/index-360panos.htm\">Panomania 360 page<\/a>)<\/p>\n<map name=\"FPMap0\">\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"363, 60, 392, 89\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lamsonweb.com\/Galleries\/Panomania\/MtLola360.htm\" alt=\"Mt Lola 360\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"514, 441, 541, 468\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lamsonweb.com\/Galleries\/Panomania\/DonnerPass360.htm\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"294, 460, 322, 488\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lamsonweb.com\/Galleries\/Panomania\/Donnersummitarea360.htm\" alt=\"Donner Summit from Soda Springs ski hill\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"398, 496, 424, 523\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lamsonweb.com\/Galleries\/Panomania\/VanNordenMeadow360.htm\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"427, 568, 453, 595\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lamsonweb.com\/Galleries\/Panomania\/CrowsNest360.htm\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"330, 564, 358, 592\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lamsonweb.com\/Galleries\/Panomania\/LakeDulzura360pano.htm\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"314, 515, 339, 539\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lamsonweb.com\/Galleries\/Panomania\/SnowyLakeSerena360.htm\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"272, 518, 299, 544\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lamsonweb.com\/Galleries\/Panomania\/SnowyLakeDulzura360pano.htm\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"448, 282, 475, 310\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lamsonweb.com\/Galleries\/Panomania\/FrogLakeOverlook360.htm\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<\/map>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/onthesummit.net\/images\/summitarea360map.jpg\" alt=\"\" usemap=\"#FPMap0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>1.
