I'm kind of getting into this panorama thing

[freelanceshots]

I thought this one came out good so I thought I'd share. I make my panoramas so they can be turned into 360 x 180 spherical panoramas where they can be viewed at my personal website under the virtual images section. At this point you need Quicktime viewer to see the functionality but I plan on being able to convert them to flash shortly. Larger image can be seen here.

Looks cool. Where's the 360 degree (stitched) version?

Hi!


I liked it! Where is the detailed description of know-how? [] Or, at list EXIF data?

[freelanceshots]

My equipment that I used is the 5DII, 360precision head, 15mm Canon fisheye, and PTGui software.


Camera setting are as follows: Images are bracketed all at f/11 with a shutter of 2,4 and 8 second exposure with ISO 200.

freelance,


Nicely done. PTGUI is a great front end for PanoTools. I still use the panotools PS plugin. Fun stuff, hope it yields some $$ customers.

Hi!





Thanks. I will highly appreciate if you can tell how this may work on crop body? What adjustment needed?





Thank you in advance.

Hey, I like that. Nice work, especially the way the ceiling "supports" the whole image.

Well I would suggest reading up on Internet for specific details
on the process as there is a ton of information that could explain it
better then I could. I'm sure for crop camera shooting you could use
Sigma's 8mm fisheye lens as I hear is works good for panorama stitching
with software for a wider angle of view. There are plenty of nicely made
panorama heads out there but I had to get my specific one for a work
assignment where it was like 900 dollars. There are less expensive heads
for panoramic work but as far as recommending a specific brand I'd only
be guessing. Good luck!
