Panoramic Photography

Over the past three months or so, I’ve developed a keen interest in producing Panoramic photographs. Ultimately, my goal is to create an equirectangular pano such as this one. That will be sometime away – I’d say a few months, given the time that I have to dedicate to this portion of my life.

I have been able to create more than a few 360° panoramas, five of which I will share with you now.

This is the first pano that I created in the safety of my own home palace.  I quite like it because it’s my first but also because it showed me what I could do with my cameras and software.

This one is one of the first I did in the great big outside world. My tripod was on sand – soft sand – so the image looks as if you are in a bowl.

This one is after I’ve had a bit more experience with taking images and making them into panoramas. I like it because it shows how beautifully my garden has developed in the nine months that I’ve been in the flat I now reside in.

This one is my favourite thus far – I like the smoothness of the interactive version and I absolutely love this part of Darwin.

This one is the one I made this past Thursday evening. It’s the first one that I’ve with my pano head and I’m still working on getting the “no-parallax point” set properly for my camera and the lens I prefer to use.

With a bit of luck and lots of time, I reckon I’ll have the equirectangular pano pwned early in 2009.  If you’d like to track my progress, feel free to bookmark my Panoramas set on flickr.

Thanks for your time!
