Panoramas

	360° Panoramas If a picture is worth a thousand words then a panorama must be worth ten thousand, especially a 360° panorama where you can look all around.
	“Letter Box” Panoramas Panoramas are straightforward to create from images from just about any camera, with the help of low cost software.
	Links to Panorama Related Sites and Software Links include PTGui, Pano2VR, Nodal Ninja, Red Door VR, panoramic tripod head suppliers and 360° panoramas.
	Measurements from 360° (Spherical) Panoramas 360° Panoramas have properties that can enable Angles (both Horizontal and Vertical) to be derived from various projections in the same way as using a Theodolite. The Angles measured from two or more 360° Panoramas can be used to derive Measurements and Co-ordinates.
	Nodal Ninja Nodal Ninja is a specially designed spherical tripod head allowing the photographer to adjust a camera and lens so the “entrance pupil” (front nodal point) is exactly over its correct rotational axis. Their web site states “The lightest smallest panoramic tripod head on the market today. Nodal Ninja is a solution for both amateurs and professionals alike that seek precision, portability, reliability as well as top notch support.”
	The No Parallax Point Some notes on the No Parallax Point and using it for 360° (Spherical) panoramas.
	Finding the Nodal Point of a Lens For a lens to be used effectively for Photographic Intersection and taking certain types of Panoramas, such as full 360° Panoramas, the location of the Nodal Point (or more correctly, the Entrance Pupil) must be accurately determined.

If a picture is worth a thousand words then a panorama must be worth ten thousand, especially a 360° (or spherical) panorama where you can look all around and in any direction you wish to.
