initial research

i am going to first look into different panoramas and QTVR to give myself an idea for the images i want to take. I like the idea of using flash in my panorama i just have to decide of some suitable places to use this.

The best way to capture panoramic photography is to use a wide angle/fish eye lenses this way you can capture much more of the picture compared to a standard lenses. It will capture a large area and then you can stitch them in photoshop to make singular images.

QTVR stands for quicktime virtual reality and this is a singular picture that you watch in quicktime player but you can go 360 degrees round and you can zoom into to certain areas to get a better feeling and understanding of a place or image.

"in its most general sense, panorama is any wide view of a physical space. it has also come to refer to a wide-angle representation of such a view - whether in painting, drawing, photography, film/video, or a three-dimensional model. further, the motion picture term, pan or painting, is derived from "panorama"
