Equipment help

Submitted by B Marshall on Thu, 2008-09-18 18:25.

Hi

I am an amateur photographer and I am interested in doing full 360 degree panoramic photography. I have a fairly capable Canon digital SLR camera with a range of lenses. I have hunted around the web for guides on what equipment and image stitching software to buy but there seems to be different products and it's all a bit confusing. I want to produce VR images along the lines of those shown in the IVRPA gallery (http://ivrpa.org/gallery/vr). What equipment other than the camera will I need?

Many thanks

You need a panoramahead and you need a stitching software.
You can find an overview at my site www.panoramas.dk and links to Software and Tutorials

Check for example this one

You can use any wide angle lens but most of us use a fisheye for web sized interactive panoramas.
