360 degrees photography

Joe, that was my surprise also. Double bonus!!
My question is how is the photography accomplished?

The Utah scenery was wonderful. Great landscapes.
My hat's off to that photographer. Great work!!

Joe, I was only up to the southern part of Utah once, six years ago. The landscapes are breathless. Endless photo opportunities.

They are called Spherical Panoramas.

Yes, Southern Utah has lots of attractive scenery.
I was there years ago. Before the days of digital photography.
I won't say how long ago, but I was driving a new 1957 Chevrolet.
Bryce Canyon is about the most colorful place you can find.

Joe

Joe, 1957 was a good year. I wish I visited there at Bryce Canyon. Maybe we will have to ask Jump to take his new Nikon G-3 there for us and take Spherical Panoramas.
Imagine what you could photograph in the Grand Canyon??

Jump, are you up for a challenge? I hope your legs are good in order to climb down there and back up. Long way down and back up for me to navigate. I get scared just looking down off the edge of the Grand Canyon.

Joe, thanks for your info and link. Do you think that Jump is up for the challenge?

To me, I think Jump could accomplish the goal and climb back up with spherical panoramas that would be amazing to view. Jump could publish his photos with National Geographic.

-Kevin

Yes, Jump can take pictures from the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
No walking required.
On the south rim they have mule rides that go to the bottom and return.
I didn't try the mule ride.
I don't trust a mule that much.
That trail is narrow and it is a long way down.

Bryce Canyon has a walking tour. A park ranger takes you down to the bottom of the canyon and back.
Down is much easier than Up.
It is worth the walk.

Joe

Joe, I never knew that you did not have to go walking down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
I would not trust a mule either.
That's why we are still both alive!! :

Grand & Bryce Canyon are quite some challenges. It will take days to accomplish the beautiful scenery. Lots of nice landscape to shoot for in the US. I really miss that.

GREAT!!! You will love it. Make sure you visit Sedona. That place is unbelievable. Red Rocks
Off subject:
My invite is still out for visiting Boston.
Oh, by the way, on March 14th I will be attending the International Seafood Show in Boston. Your country is represented there.

-Kevin

In fact, our king was born there 83 years ago. He'll turn 84 next year. Try Thai food, it's quite hot & spicy, but you'll definitely like Thom-Yum. If I go to the US, I'll try out Boston. Thanks for inviting us.

Jump, Can you imagine the scenery that you photographed in CROATIA and to imagine what the results would be?
That park and all those waterfalls you photographed.
That panoramic would be wonderful to view.

-Kevin

this is really good for landscape shooting. It's something wonderful to view. Thanks for sharing Kevin.

hjfok, I have viewed similar images in the real estate market for the last four years.
Panorama tour of the home in real estate. I have a friend that does that for $175 per shot. Interior or exterior images. Sets up the camera on a tripod and walks away for a while, processes the image and it is done.
Simple and professional images that cannot be manipulated like Joe Randolph and I are talking about. That is the current state of the art.
I think that one would have to have correct lighting in order to accomplish great photography outdoors.

Last October, I was photographing a golf tournament in Plymouth, MA.
The time was 8am and the area was very, very foggy. Absolutely great photo conditions. (Like a tent effect.)

I doubt I will ever see those lighting conditions ever again.
Once in a lifetime opportunity. I was happy with my photo results.
