What about fisheye panos? Anyone try that?


Seems to me that fisheyes would make it MUCH more difficult since the lines would all be rounded at the edges where the stitch takes place. In my example above, I ran each image through PTLens prior to stitching, which takes all the roundedness out of the photos first. Even though I used the Canon 17-40 f/4 L, there was still a little roundness around the edges.


The lens should be a wide lens. depending on the app, a fish eye should not make a differance.

The nodal point is the all mighty key to this issue. If you do not find a nodal point on your rig, you will have misalignment.

The only app I know that doesn't need a nodal point, but a steady hand is REALVIZ STITCHER 4.0, Realviz.com.

I've been using Panorama Factory for a while now with plenty of handheld panos. It's very easy to use and has some unique features, like auto-adjust/refine for areas that don't quite match up.
