Spherical Panoramas of France
France is an absolute favorite of mine when it comes to picking destinations for the purpose of shooting spherical panoramas and such. A spherical panorama is captured using different parts of equipment, including a good fish-eye lens and a solid tripod.
This magnificent country or republic is located in the western part of Europe and borders the Atlantic Ocean, the Channel and the Mediterranean. To the north Belgium is located, to the south Spain and Andorra, to the east the country of Italy and Switzerland, and to the northeast the nations of Luxembourg and Germany.
During the course of my life, and whilst I lived in the Netherlands some years ago, we traveled to various parts of France, including Southern France as well as the city or capital of Paris. All of these places produce wonderful opportunities to those, including me, to shoot spherical panoramas.
France counts a big number of inhabitants, of which most live in the bigger French cities including Paris, Lyon, Nice, Toulouse, Brest and other such places. The country’s capital is Paris, which is one of the most populous cities in France and Europe. Those of you traveling or flying to and from Paris will likely pass through Charles-de-Gaulle international airport, which is located about 35 minutes (by car) north of Paris.
The republic runs an impressive military. The armed forces include the French Army, Navy and Air Force as well as the so-called “National Gendarmerie.” The French Air Force is the oldest in the world, and the 4th largest in NATO. Like the United States of America, the President of the republic is the commander of the armed forces. France is also a permanent member of the Security Council of the United Nations.
France is a wonderful destination for tourists of all kinds, including those like me that explore territories for the purpose of photography, including the capturing of spherical panoramas. Those that travel to France can gain quick access to other parts of Europe via an incredible network of public transportation.
Spherical panoramas allow for great detail to be displayed through the use of good equipment and software. After shooting a panorama a series of subsequent steps are necessary to produce a panorama image file. The file size of such images quickly increases in size because of the amount of information.
The latest in the world of spherical panorama technology, including panoramic photography of unique world cities shot using high quality gear.
