This was sent to me today. Amazing detail..... Enjoy Payson Canyon - 360 Degree Interactive Panorama Double Arch, Arches National Park, in 3D Sulphur Creek in Capitol Reef National Park, Interactive VR Panorama
Cool...it's like a video game except I wasn't worried that someone was sneaking up behind me to shoot me :blush2:
What I can't figure out is, look down on the Arches shot, I mean all the way down, and there's no tripod or other stuff holding the camera. Howdafock they do that????
The photographer doesn't give away any secrets on his web site, but this site: panoguide: Creating spherical panoramas describes the "spherical panorama" process. Basically it's several images taken with a 180-degree field-of-view fisheye lens, stitched together. If your lens covers 180 degrees and you hold it at your eye, you won't see your feet. As always, the magic isn't in the process or in the camera, it's up to the photographer to make something great with it!
