panorama

In this section I describe some of the photography techniques I developed over the years. For now it’s about my panorama photos. If you want to see what I made, check out my panorama gallery.

In this article I describe my workflow for creating beautiful spherical panoramas.

This page describes my workflow for spherical panoramas made from a tripod on the ground. The goal is to produce a panorama photo covering 360° horizontally and 180° vertically. The photo will be of normal dynamic range, such that it can be viewed in an image viewer, embedded on a website, or shown in a VR set.

Version v1.5 of Skyfill has been released. The most important improvement is the addition of a mirror ball mode.

Version v1.2 of Skyfill has been released, with 16-bit and AdobeRGB support.

This page describes my workflow for spherical panoramas made with my drone. A drone panorama, taken near camping Slapić and the river Mrežnica, Croatia. © 2019 Sybren A. Stüvel. Taking the Photos My drone is a DJI Mavic 2 Pro.

I've added miniature planets to my photography website https://stuvelfoto.nl/

Last year we went on holiday to Slovenia & Croatia (mentioned here in chronological order of visiting) and made a set of 360°x180° panorama photos. They are available as high dynamic range EXR files on Blender Cloud.

Version v1.1 of Skyfill has been released. The most important improvement is that it now also supports full-white as fill colour for the sky.

Most drones (UAVs) cannot look straight up to photograph the sky above them. As a result, spherical panoramas made with drones tend to have a gap in the sky. Some drones, like my DJI Mavic 2, can fill in this gap automatically while generating a preview.
