Below are examples of
panoramic images, one is a standard panoramic image and the
other is a Quicktime Virtual Reality image both were made
from the same group of images via specialized photo
equipment & software. Some nice features of a virtual
reality image is that it allows the viewer to zoom and pan
in 360˚. The best features of a standard panoramic is its
high resolution and large printable file size. Typical
printing sizes for a standard panoramic range between 8" h
x 48" w x 300 dpi to 12" h x 96" w x 300 dpi (each image is
unique in size). There are some limitations to this type of
panoramic photography: the subject must be somewhat static
and the camera must be level with the horizon.
Above is a standard 360˚
panoramic image. This image has been reduced in size for
website use, the original was 9"x 53"x 300dpi.
