Here are some panoramas that I (* ») have taken; for many more in Northern Spain, see the Speleogroup panoramas » page.
- To see a full-size image, click on a thumbnail.
For 360° images it’s best to save them first: - To save a full-size image, ‘save link as’ or ‘save target as’ (most browsers allow this on right click on the thumbnail); note that stereo images should be saved with extension .mpo – your browser may have changed that to .jpg.
I have written, and recommend using, PanGazer » for viewing any panoramas once you have saved them; it is especially useful for viewing the 360° images.
These panoramas have been constructed in a number of ways; many are simply stitched from a few overlapping hand-held photographs, but I have also used automated pan-tilt heads, including:
- The GigaPan Epic 100. This allows very precise adjustments and is suited to smaller, and especially film, cameras.
- Sky-Watcher AZ-GTi. This is a robust unit which has proved very reliable; for more information, see my AZ-GTi notes.
- The Benro Polaris. Also a robust unit, very versatile; for more information, see my Benro Polaris notes.
- The Syrp Genie II. A robust pan-tilt head with built-in screen and a good control app. Simpler than the Benro Polaris although the same weight; for more information, see my Syrp Genie II notes.
- The DJI Ronin RS3 Mini gimbal. A three-axis motorised head that allows a much lighter setup than the more conventional heads listed above; for more information, see my DJI RS3 Mini notes.
- The DJI Ronin RS4 Mini gimbal. An improved DJI gimbal, with auto-lock and auto-fold; for more information, see my DJI RS4 Mini notes.
For 360° images I have used both DJI drones and various ground-based 360° cameras.
