This spherical panorama was taken while standing inside the rotunda of Schirn Kunsthalle, a museum in Frankfurt am Main (Germany). The mirror is part of the installation “[DIS]CONNECT” by Philipp Fürhofer.
Technique:
The shooting was done with a monopod which was mounted on top of a tripod. The lens was mounted with a custom-made bracket. Stitched from five images taken with a Walimex (Samyang) 8mm fish eye lens on a Sony A7RM3. Four images around and an additional image for the nadir.
This is an panorama taken with the Ricoh Thata S.
This is a panorama taken with the Ricoh Thata S. It was just standing on the floor with a very small tripod.
This is an automatically rendered panorama from three source panoramas taken with the Rocoh Theta S. As the camera is a one shot solution it is sometimes difficult to be NOT on the final image. In this case I used the Photoshop Median operation to remove myself from the panorama without any manual interaction.
This spherical panorama shows the interior of the Abu-Bakr-Mosque in Frankfurt am Main.
Technique
The shooting was done with a tripod. The lens was mounted with a custom-made bracket. Stitched from five images taken with a Walimex (Samyang) 7.5mm fish eye lens on a Sony ILCE-6000. Four images around and an additional image for the nadir.

Technique
The shooting was done with a 3 meter (appx. 10 ft) tripod to reach a more elevated viewpoint. Actually it was a monopod which was mounted on top of a tripod. The lens was mounted with a custom-made bracket. Stitched from five HDR images taken with a Walimex (Samyang) 7.5mm fish eye lens on a Sony ILCE-6000. Four images around and an additional image for the nadir. Each HDR image was generated from three bracketed exposures within Lightroom.
This panorama shows Planinska jama (The Planina cave) which is one of the longest Slovenian water caves.
I was able to visit this cave at the annual PanoTools-Meeting 2015.
As the lens is a fisheye lens, four pictures easily cover 360°. To capture the large dynamic range of the scenery I took three exposures in each direction. I used a custom lens bracket on a tripod. The exposures were 2 f-stops apart. The exposures were blended in Lightroom and exported to be stitched with PTGui Pro. Zenith and nadir were retouched by hand in Photoshop.
The WWP event 314 has the theme ‘Decade’. I participated with this submission. The event is scheduled to go online on 1/Apr/2014.
Originally this panorama was my submission to the World Wide Panaorama event ‘Decade’. I took it with a monopod mounted on a tripod and took four images with the Walimex 8mm fishe eye lens mounted on the Sony ILCE-7.
This image shows a panorama which was stitched from eight images in portrait orientation. Due to the high dynamic range of the sensor I only used one exposure and brought back the shadows with Lightroom. The size of the resulting image is 19200 x 6000 pixel.
