Is it possible to do this ?

Im going on a trip to Europe and an idea just came to my head. Is it possible to take panoramic photos and put them together to make as if surrounding us...

I know im not very clear but this is what I mean :

Re: Is it possible to do this ?

There is sometimes an option on your camera to help you take shots that line up perfectly with eachother, but if not, just try to take pictures that fit perfectly together. Then, you can put them on your computer and line them up next to eachother. Photoshop has something that will help you line them all up, and if it sees how, it'll do it automatically.

Ya I saw a lens that did that it was really expensive but if you have a tripod you could probably do it. That's the only way I know to actually make it really a 360 degree photo to work out evenly. But if your good at photoshop just take the pics and then line things up and shrink it where it doesn't fit so it'll end up smaller but will look good.

Yeah, i remember seeing something that was a simple adapter, which was sorta like a mirror attached to the top of the lense, and all you do is point the camera straight up and the mirror will capture everything around it.
Its like panoramic but with only taking one photo..

The cheaper way to do it is just get a tripod and do what gianteric said.. use photoshop to stitch them, or find a program that can help..

I dont remember the name of the lense adapter but i KNOW i saw examples of it in use.. i know exactly how it works
