Caption

The first "full spherical” (i.e. 360x 180°) panorama intended to be rendered in fairly ”high resolution” that I have ever photographed.

Made from 38 images (2 mega pixels each) including Nadir and Zenith dedicated shots, it was completely forgotten for seventeen years and was finally processed at the end of 2016 after a fortuitous (re)discovery.

Location

Europe / France

Lat: 43° 27' 17" N
Long: 1° 36' 37" E

Elevation: 160m

→ maps.google.com [EXT]

Precision is: Unknown / Undeclared.

Equipment

Home-made pano-head (most probably a plexiglass bracket + transparent plastic angular protractor) mounted on a 190B Manfrotto tripod with a three way pan tilt head.

Nikon CoolPix E950 compact digital camera; Zoom lens set at 7.2mm (i.e. widest angle).

Camera settings: f/7.4, 1/133sec. and "AE-LOCK" mode (Mode specifically designed by Nikon where Autoexposure and Auto White Balance are locked... to shoot panorama images)
