How are 360° panoramic photos taken?

To take a panoramic photo, you need to take the photos and then put them together using PS.

The tips for taking panoramic photos are as follows:

Using a tripod to shoot can keep the photos clear. Users often encounter panoramic shooting without the assistance of a tripod. At this time, Make sure the user is standing in one spot and keeping the digital camera close to the body when turning to take each photo.

In addition, do not move from the original shooting location during the shooting and try to stand as stable as possible. The purpose of this is to imitate an environment with a tripod, try to keep the camera as flat as possible and rotate around a point.

Shoot vertically instead of horizontally. Take more pictures of the same place. The edges of the photo will be less deformed and the panoramic photo will look better.

The white balance of the camera is the best. It is best to set it to cloudy. If it is set to automatic, the white balance may change in each photo, which is very bad.

Press the shutter halfway, set the exposure, then observe the viewfinder, and record the aperture Value? and shutter speed. Now set the camera to M and adjust it to the value just recorded. If you don't do this, it will automatically expose, so the exposure of each photo may be different. Adjusting the exposure in PS will drive you crazy in the future

If you focus on the first shot, then turn off the focus in the future, so that the camera does not have to refocus for each shot, otherwise it will be very bad,

Before taking the first picture, it is best to take a picture in front of the camera with your finger, because what you want to take is not one picture, but several or countless pictures. Unless you are very familiar with the scene, otherwise you will I don’t know where I started shooting, so I repeated the process in the same way after taking the last picture.

Each photo overlaps 20--25. Make sure that 1/4 of the first photo appears in the second photo/each photo has at least 20 overlap. That way PS can easily stitch it together. Okay, this is important. :

Panoramas need to be stitched together using image processing software such as Landscape Designer. You can stitch 2-8 fisheye images or a variable number of ordinary photos. After stitching together, you can generate Spherical panorama or cube panorama. In addition, if you want to display it, you can also publish it. You can publish it in flash/java/quicktime and other formats for browsing, and the viewing effect will be like being there.

With the development and popularization of smart phones, panoramic software on mobile phones has emerged. Nowadays, many mobile phone panorama software can take 360° panoramic photos and even panoramic videos.

For example: Panorama, which is a free App developed based on the iPhone's additional lens for users to use.
