This course was built in 1920 on the crest of the Berkeley Hills several miles north of the city of Berkeley, and has gradually become surrounded by suburban development. Hole 15 is just beyond the sand trap, and the tee for Hole 16 is across the path. This gentle valley along the crest of the hills is the trace of the Hayward Fault.
This is literally a hundred yards from where we live. I don't play golf, and technically I was trespassing, but it was an easy place to shoot for the Wrinkle and to try out my new Insta360 One RS camera.
I used an Insta360 ONE RS 1-inch 360 edition video camera, mounted on a Velbon tripod. I intended to shoot using a selfie stick with tripod base but gusty winds threatened to blow it over.
The equirectangular image from the camera was sharpened using Topaz Photo AI. The tripod and tripod shadow were removed using TouchRetouch.
This is the first pano I have created using this camera.
