This my first attempt at making a spherical panorama. I used Autodesk StitcherUnlimited 2009, Sony a700 at 16mm (24 full frame), and a regular tripod head (worst one to use btw). Now that I’m back in Japan I’ll use my a900 which will give me true 16mm and higher resolution.
That software is really nice to use. It turned my bad photos and alignments into something workable that looks pretty damn good for a first time job. I didn’t take but 10 min on the photos.
This one is of a typical backyard in Southern California. I wanted to remind myself and my daughter of the backyards that just don’t exist in Japan. It’s only a 9meg file and low quality. I have one that went to 80meg.
