Hi all. We've lived in the area for about 6 months now. I'm originally from Myrtle Beach by way of Charlotte.
I saw another thread with someone saying that they didn't see the "wow" when they visited. That inspired me to post links to a few examples of my new hobby. Gigapanning is a process by which you use a digital point & shoot camera (with the help of a robotic mount) to take a group of pictures of a scene. The photos are then stitched together on your computer to give you a single image of incredible resolution and depth. I'm just getting the hang of it, but I thought I'd share my first few attempts.
(Sorry for the clunky links - this board doesn't seem to support "live" links.)
Caesar's Head state park is roughly a 45 minute drive from downtown, but still in Greenville County. This panorama gives you an idea of the view, but still doesn't do it justice:
Those are very nice, mosleyh! I think it is very sad that the Raven Cliff Falls overlook location has been changed. The view of the falls is much less spectacular now.
Right bact at ya, Sky. I've enjoyed the shots you've posted, but like a bad little lurker, didn't comment. (slaps own hand)

I've heard that. It is a pity.
I plan to get up to Symmes Chapel for a pano on the next clear day we have. I tried my very first one there but had some technical difficulties. I met a fellow local photog named Bill Robertson that day - you should check out his work if you don't know him already -
mosleyh my hubby was just there last month at camp greenville. He said that due to the fire recently it is still pretty but you can see alot of the burned spots.

Ouch. You're right - I'd totally forgotten about that. Thanks.
By the way, if anyone has suggestions for other photogenic panoramas in the area, I'm always looking for good places to shoot. . .
Here's the second one:
