Photography Tips VR Panorama effect with PTGui (www.dombower.com)

http://www.dombower.com/


In this video i show you the cool quick time video effect you can have with the panoramic software called ptgui (yes you can do this kind of effect with other lenses not just my fish eye but you may need to take more photos)
you can also do this with images that are not full 360degree.

i thad a go at this at the widest focal length of the widest lens i have which is 18mm. the resulting photo doesnt align together very well. are there tricks behind this? will a tripod help?

thanks

it might but you would need a special head for the tripd. try it on landscapes first and you will see it work fine, but the 18mm isnot that brill

To do a regular panorama with this software do they have to be perfectly shot so that they match up, like with a tripod? Or could you just do it freehand??

[dombower]

depends, i did some panoramas in the lakedistrict hand held but the view was easily over a km away, i imagin you can do it hand heald pretty easy but need tripod stuff if you are doing slightly longer exposures or close up panormaics like of streets etc

There is a cool app on the app store for iPhone and iPad called 360 panorama. It allows you to REALLY easily take 360's and with your gyroscope on your device, you can walk around in your panorama, plus you can put it online, and walk around online. Its really cool! and so easy to do!

So do you need a fisheye lens like in the video? or is that just more convenient???

lol thanks i tried it in photoshop and yeah your right.

Photomatix is only for HDR, and photoshop can stitch panoramas, but not make an interactive one like this.

Could you do this in Phtoshop or photomatics?
