They are especially useful for capturing wide angle images that are difficult to view in a traditional photo. I&#8217;ve also experimented with various methods for presenting panoramic photos, including QuickTime VR, which is an excellent tool for navigating panoramas.<\/p>\n<p>Another excellent piece of panoramic photography software is <a href=\"http:\/\/echoone.com\/doubletake\/\">DoubleTake<\/a>, which has recently been updated to version 2.2.  I like DoubleTake because it is one of the easiest and quickest ways to create a panorama from &#8220;stitching&#8221; a series of images together.  While there are more sophisticated tools available, DoubleTake provides a great combination of ease-of-use and quality results.<\/p>\n<p>Presenting panoramic images online is another issue.  Panoramic images can be huge, and most online services that offer panoramic photo viewers place limits on how large a file one can upload.   One popular site for panoramic images that I&#8217;ve recently posted images to is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.panoguide.com\/gallery\/user\/4291\/\">Panoguide<\/a>.  This service provides a fairly good java-based viewer for viewing panoramic images, but it limits uploaded images to a maximum resolution of 8 megapixels.  One of the panoramas I recently took at my godson&#8217;s graduation at Shawnee Mission North High School was 48 megapixels, so I had to drop down the resolution quite a bit to upload it to panoguide.<\/p>\n<p>But for what it&#8217;s worth, below are links to the two panoramas I took at Trevor&#8217;s graduation.  The first one is a 180 degree cylindrical panorama of the football stadium just prior to the graduation ceremonies.  The second is a tighter close-up cylindrical panorama of the graduating class just prior to receiving their diplomas.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_227\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-227\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.panoguide.com\/gallery\/1330\/view_pp\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drthompsen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/1330.jpeg\" alt=\"Shawnee Mission North High School\" title=\"1330.jpeg\" width=\"500\" height=\"88\" class=\"size-full wp-image-227\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shawnee Mission North High School<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_228\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-228\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.panoguide.com\/gallery\/1331\/view_pp\/\" target=\"_blank\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drthompsen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/1331.jpeg\" alt=\"Shawnee Mission North Class of 2009\" title=\"1331\" width=\"500\" height=\"37\" class=\"size-full wp-image-228\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shawnee Mission North Class of 2009<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve never used a panoramic viewer before, try clicking on the image in the viewer and moving the mouse around to navigate.
