Spherical Panoramas
I took some pictures with a fisheye lens in order
to stitch some spherical panoramas. So far I have put together
only a few. More to come as I get time to process the images.
Start with the atrium; it's a beautiful room.
To view these panoramas,
- Make sure you have a recent copy of Apple's Quicktime installed.
If you need it,
click
here to get it.
- The panoramas look best when viewed at high resolution large
screens (projectors, for example). Maximize your browser.
- Click on one of the images below.
- Sometimes on my browser the small circular cursor used by
Quicktime stays active, even on other windows. To correct
that, click back from the panorama to get to this window.

The pictures were taken with a Canon Rebel XT and
a Sigma 8mm F3.5 EX DG fisheye lens. The images were stitched
using PTGui.
A Panorama in Google Earth
If you have a copy of
Google Earth installed, try
the following
-
Click on
this link.
-
The panorama will appear on top of the ground
like a glass ball. Center it on the Goggle Earth screen.
-
Tilt using the middle mouse button.
-
You can then use the rotation icon on the
upper right of the screen (it appears when you move your mouse
there) to spin around the glass ball.
I found the code and procedure at the
Digital Urban web pages. It's very cool, although also
very tricky to navigate.
