PhotoNetCast #82 – Panoramic and 360-degrees Photography, with Ron Pepper

Ron Pepper joins us on the photography podcast to talk about his wirk in panoramic photography and 360-degree photography. We discuss the gear, software and, most importantly, the technique to achieve good results.

Panoramas and 360-degree photos

 

In this episode we are joined by Ron Pepper to talk about his expertise in panoramic photography, with emphasis in 360-degree images. While panoramic images are frequently made, and even more so with the large advances of software for this specific application, 360-degree images are not so frequent, and still demand attention for their interactivity. This is probably the only type of photography that is mostly reserved for the web and Ron is a skilful artist in achieving quasi-magic results.

As always, feedback is most welcome.
