Subject area: Having some people or objects in the foreground can be useful to provide action or perspective. (There are exceptions to the infinity rule if the bulk of your subject and surroundings are close up, say inside a bus for example.) Also make certain your lens is set to infinity focus. As a general rule (there are exceptions), you’ll want to expose for the sky.

An alignment trick: tie a string around a coin (or heavy item) and hang this from your lens so that you can be sure you are shooting at the same angle around the axis.Įxposure and focus: To ensure a consistent exposure, be sure you are in fully manual mode. After you’ve taken enough photos, you get a feel for properly aligning with the ground and horizon. We take virtually all our panoramic photos without a monopod, tripod heads or other aids. If you are not shooting with a lens at least as wide as 8mm, you may need to take more images to be sure you’ve covered everything from a 360-degree perspective. The shots: You will shoot in RAW format at least five images in portrait orientation – four images each at 90-degree angles to one another (think around a single axis), then a fifth shot overhead to be sure you’ve captured the entire sky or ceiling. Can we get some technique tips that will help those learning the technique shorten their learning curve, please?įor the purposes of this Q&A, we’ll assume you are shooting with an 8mm circular fisheye lens.

Plus they have other great photography and travel stories on their site I think you will enjoy. NOTE: I suggest subscribing to their blog as they post one of these images from around the world every week. In an upcoming post, I will dive a bit deeper into a slightly different style I currently use to create similar images. This post will explore how they capture what they do and will point you to some resources you can use to do the same. I recently contacted them to find out how they capture their images as I wanted to present my panoramas (not full 360) in the same manner. I’ve been a bit addicted to the far-flung locations they show and the amount of detail they can pack into a full spherical image (which looks fabulous in full screen mode).

As DPS evolves, we’ll be adding in the ability to see these immersion style Shockwave files on the blog, but for now, take a look at this example before diving into this post.ĭaniel And Audrey have been creating these wonderful images for years.
