Panoramic Photography is becoming more popular as the tools to create and publish photospheres become easier to use and more readily available. However, not all photospheres are of good quality.
This course will provide you with industry-standard expertise in purchasing equipment, acquiring, processing and stitching panoramic images, and publishing them to a website and Google Maps.
I will walk you through the process that I use to create high-quality panoramic images using a DSLR camera and Sigma 8mm fisheye lens. In order to take full advantage of this course, you will need to have access to the required equipment and software which I will carefully outline.
