Further Research - Sam Rohn

Sam Rohn is a photographer that does VR panoramas, and has a site with many of his own. They have been made so you can see a whole area from top to bottom, and the panorama is made interactive on his site. I have chosen to look at his work because he has done a mixture of indoor and outdoor panoramas, which is what I plan to do. By looking at his work, I can pinpoint where I may have troubles on my own panoramas as well.

These are three examples of his work. The first image is in Bali, and from looking at this wrk I can see where I could have problems stitching my images together. Firstly, on his 3D panorama the sky changes colour where the sun is, and the sun is also facing on part of his photo, which could cause lighting problems with my own photos. Reflections could also cause interference when editing the photos together, as some parts way not match up.

The second image is at an Ikea Event in New York, ans as such, it has been taken indoors. This is a problem as the camera will be very close to many objects, so placing together the panorama may end up distorting them. This problem can be tackled if I edit carefully and use the warp too sparingly.

The last image was taken in Poland, and shows a landscape filled with trees. For my planned landscapes, there will be a lot of trees visible so I should look at these examples to see how to stitch together trees so they look realistic.
