What you need to start creating awesome panoramas and choosing the best panorama head for you

360° panoramic photos and virtual tours are a new way of showing places, events and businesses on the web. The boom of this kind of imaging technology is caused mainly by ever-reducing costs of creating it and the availability of simple tools and software for processing photos. The widespread of the broadband internet makes it super-easy to publish 360° photos on websites without any worries about their accessibility and speed.

Initial testing and understanding of concept:

  • ANY CAMERA: If you are just starting with panoramic photography you need any suitable camera (even phone is ok).
  • ANY LENS: If your camera does not come with a lens, then you need to get any appropriate lens. Preferably a fisheye lens if you can but any lens will do - fisheye lenses are great for the fact that they cover a large field of view with a single shot so you will be done with your shooting in less time. Don't worry about fisheye image distortion. That's a job for stitching software to deal with.
  • Software for stitching photos and exporting
