I have taken one set of images but produced 3 panoramas:
I have been waiting for a still quiet day. In June these were few and far between and rarely with a clear sky. This set of images were taken quite early in the morning, about 7am, before the wind got up although the sky was overcast. For panoramic views of distant scenes, moderate wind makes little difference, but when you have plants and flowers only a few yards/metres away the slightest breath of air shakes the leaves and flowers which causes problems with the final image.
I took a set of 180 images in all to product a complete ‘360x180degree’ panorama (i.e. one that stretches all the way round and shows the sky above your head and the ground under your feet). The first image uses a subset of 45 to produce a continuous horizontal panorama. I have also prepared an interactive view which you can use to pan around, and zoom into, the scene. Try it with the full screen mode (press the control button on the right).
Using the full set of images gives a 360x180degree panorama:
This looks little different from the previous view albeit with more ground and sky. The difference is with the interactive view. Here, you can not only pan around the scene and zoom in as before, but also look up at all the sky or look down at the grass beneath my feet.
To be honest, for views such as this I see little point on doing this although the technique seems popular. I could understand this in, say, a historic building such as a church where you might have engraved tombstones in the floor and interesting architecture in the roof to look at. But grass and sky?…
However, the full set does allow a ‘Little Planet’ to be produced:
I was quite struck by this. On a brighter day this could look good. Even so, the clouds make an interesting background. I have also prepared an interactive view of this image.
Alternatively, you can view the images and see the interactive views in the garden section of the panoramic views gallery.
