today I'm gonna show you how to take 360
photos with any camera there are
essentially three things you'll need to
do this one a camera with a wide lens an
iPhone lens is wide enough to a laptop
you can use a tripod with a panoramic
head as well but this is not essential
for this purpose I'm going to show you
how to achieve it with a DSLR and a
panoramic head although later in the
video I'll show you that this is not
necessary so let's get the camera
mounted to the tripod head you're gonna
have to mount it portrait mode to make
the most of the available space so now
that the camera is mounted onto the
tripod head we need to get the pupil
entrance in line with the tripod the
easiest way to do this is to line up the
front of the lens with the center of the
tripod most panoramic heads will have
these little knobs to make fine
adjustments see when I when this is out
perfectly because the body of the camera
will rotate around the front of the lens
so now the camera is set up we can go
ahead and start taking our photos and
this is where George lost his voice so
I'll be taking over from here on first
get the camera set up use manual mode
shooting high quality JPEG with a
shutter speed at at least 150 the higher
the aperture the better start with the
floor or ceiling make sure you don't get
the tripod in frame most panoramic heads
will have tactile clicks to indicate how
much you should turn the tripod head
before taking the next picture this is
great because it means you are less
likely to miss any of the surroundings
finally turn on your autofocus when
taking the photos make sure that you
take at least three different angles
doing a full 360 if you're not using a
tripod or panoramic head simply align
the front element with your foot and
pivot around that point once you are
done upload the photos and download this
program we're only using the trial
version and it's a paid program but for
a hundred pounds it's way cheaper than
buying a 360 camera and it will give you
larger higher quality 360 images
next load your images into the program
and make sure they are all portrait
[Music]
you can enter information about the lens
and camera you are using if the exif
data is not available most cameras will
automatically include this if so just
click automatic click align images this
will begin stitch in your photos
together once done you may need to do
some fine-tuning of control points but
this is rare and easy to do using the
panorama mode you can easily spot the
images that are misaligned
[Music]
using the control tab add in the control
points that are missing for me this was
imaged 62 and 63 to add the control
points click a point on the image then
simply match up that point on the other
image you will need to add a minimum of
three control points
[Music]
I've sped up the rest of the control
point addy
when you are done
check the panorama viewer if there are
still misaligned images right-click and
exclude them
[Music]

use the I tool to view a draft 360 view
this will give you an idea that the
Finnish 360 image

once you are happy head back to the
project assistant and click optimize
this will fine-tune the stitching and
control points next hit create panorama
you will need to enter your required
dimensions I'm going to upload to
Facebook so I'll need a whip of 6,000
pixels now click create panorama and
head over to the exif annette upload
your newly created panorama and click
exif meat this is where you can edit the
exes or metadata of your panorama this
will ensure that your 360 platform
recognizes it as a 360 image these
settings here will work for almost any
platform click go exiting once done
[Music]
close the editor and download your image
now back to George so there we are then
that's how you take 360 photos with any
camera if you liked the video give us a
