Panorama photography

Older panoramas are hosted at You3DView, one of the few free panaorama hosting sites that I am aware of. For new images, I am starting to experiment with 360cities because it has fewer limitations on the size of uploaded images.

Most of these images were taken with a hand-held Nokia N8 mobile phone.

Sissinghurst Castle Garden

A 360° panorama view from the tower of Vita Sackville-West's garden at Sissinghurst, Kent, UK. This image is somewhat unusual because it captures a sight that it not usually seen (except by hovering a few feet above the ground), as you would typically have parts of the tower obstructing your view in two directions, so it is composed from shots taken in several different locations. Interestingly the composite image created by AutoPano Pro still contains very few visible alignment errors.


Borkum Leuchtturm

View from the lighthouse on the island of Borkum, Germany. It was taken by walking around the vistor's platform of the lighthouse, so some perspective errors are unavoidable.
