Spherical Panoramas of Germany

By John Diet


Panoramic photography, including the capturing of a spherical panorama, can offer wonderful challenge. I have yet to experience a session where people will actually leave me alone when capturing spherical panoramas. My next trip will likely take me to different countries in Europe, including the nation of Germany.

To those unfamiliar with gorgeous country, Germany is located in Western Europe and is officially called the Federal Republic of Germany, which in German is the "Bundesrepublik Deutschland." The country counts some 16 states and more than 80 million inhabitants. The Netherlands borders this nation to the west, and so do Belgium, Luxembourg and France. Switzerland and Austria border Germany to the south.

This republic offers wonderful scenery to shoot in terms of spherical panoramas and such, including the capital city of Berlin. Germany is considered of the substantial political powers in Europe and an international technological leader in fields of all kinds, including the automobile industry.

Unlike traditional panoramas, spherical panoramas can offer great detail to viewers. Displayed or listed on websites of all kinds, this type of photography requires more than just a point-and-shoot camera. Personally, I have been using a higher end Nikon SLR camera with a good fish-eye lens.

Home to Volkswagen, Siemens and other great innovative companies, this country has incredible innovative capacity. A lot of heavy industry is located along the Rhine river in western Germany, which connects the country with the North Sea that borders western Holland. In general inhabitants enjoy a good and high standard of living, in comparison to other countries in the world today. Ever since the reunification of the different military zones back in the 90's, this standard of living has dramatically increased.

Those interested in shooting spherical panoramas, consider surfing over to 3d-exposure dot com for more information on what equipment to use as well as to view high quality full-screen panoramas of places and sites around the world, including the United States of America.
