This is a quick post but while the weather is bad here i’ve been working on learning some new skills. I decided to learn how to make 360 degree sperical panoramas. Here is a link to the first one that I tried out, click and drag with the mouse to view the room. Created using 8 photos. 6 photos from left to right to make up 360 degrees , and then one photo straight up and one straight down. Stitched together using a program called PTGui with a bit of time and patience….. Shot with a Canon 5dMKII ( though the resolution if it is overkill, the full frame is important) and a Sigma 15mm fisheye. You need to make a few modifications to your tripod setup though so the camera rotates around the lens’ nodal point (or no-parralax point depending on who you ask)
Always good to have new skills to fill in your spare time, you never know when this will come in handy.

Wow. That’s your first crack at it?! Nicely done.
Yeah that’s the first one i’ve ever tried. Turned out pretty well so i’m pleased. The place where i shot that one actually asked me to shoot a bunch of them for their website after they saw this one so it was a worthwhile skill to learn. I’m always looking for new ways to expand my knowledge, this was kind of fun to do.
