Photographed using the Nodal Ninja NN3 Panoramic VR Head,
Canon 400D Digital SLR with Sigma 8mm fish-eye lens and stitched
with Real VIZ Stitcher Unlimited. *Distributed exclusively in the UK by Red Door VR Limited.

Equipment:
The Nodal Ninja 3 Panorama head is small, precise, robust and lightweight - an ideal combination with the present generation of digital SLR cameras (such as the Canon 400D, Nikon D80 etc.) coupled with a 'fish-eye' lens.

Technique:
4 images at 90º intervals, coupled with an 'up shot' of the ceiling provide a full 180º x 360º view. Users may also wish to take a 6th shot directly downwards to touch in the floor in Photoshop or their favoured image editing software.

Stitching:
The resulting images are then stitched with RealVIZ Stitcher Unlimited, which does a great job of 'auto-stitching' - just drop the images into the software and allow the application to do the work for you!

Final tweaks were added (on a Mac OS Computer) using 'Cubic Connector' software, which adds the auto-rotation, and allows the user to extract cube faces for any retouching, or adding the 'tripod cap' logo image.

The photos were shot with only the existing light, the bedrooms shot twice, with curtains open or closed to demonstrate examples of different lighting conditions.
