Hi Dorin, Thank you ever so much for this!!!!! Checked your work out from the other thread, that is exactly what I am trying to achieve. Ok here are my specs: Camera: Canon E0S SLR digital Lens: EFS 18-55mm Zoom lens Skill in manual mode: beginner. Unfortunantly I don't have a tripod or panohead at the moment. Will upload a previous attempt soon (can't seem to find the file)) Thanks

Panorama with a non-fisheye lens

Re: Panorama with a non-fisheye lens Posted: 4 Apr 2008 at 19:16 GMT updated: 4 Apr 2008 at 19:16 GMT	go to thread
Found this: www.fromparis.com/video/make_a_quicktime_vr_in_10... Everything seems to make sense now, unfortunantly it seems as though for every tutorial I find all of the phtographers are using Fisheye lenses and not zoom lenses (I am using a 18-55mm one on a canon). With zoom lens the problem I am having currently is if I shoot lets say 12 shots vertically, due to the lens not being wide enough in portrait mode I can't seem to get the ceilings/floor into the shot. Thanks guys.

Thanks Klaus. Out of curiousity do you use a zoom lens as well at 18mm? Btw what angle should I take my shots at, and will I be able to create a 360 degrees pano with a zoomlens at 18mm. The nadir and zanith are top and bottom right. When it comes to stitching how should I go about stitching them. Thanks again.

Hi Klaus, Thank you for your reply. Realistically, how will my panos turn out with a zoom lens - got any examples? What setting should I take the shots at in the range 18-55? - at 18mm? Sorry, I am quite new to this. Btw how many shots will I need to take to get a panorama? In terms of a virtual tour? Thanks Klaus!
