Samyang 12mm + Canon 6D

[Mario Mandic]

Greeting. I bought your program, and I'm interested in making an ideal 360 panorama of Samyang 12mm f2.8 fisheye, Canon 6D, Nodal ninja 3. How many pictures under which angle, and how to take a picture of ceiling and floor under which angle? Thank you in advance. Best regards.

Hi Mario,

PTGui doesn't require any specific shooting configuration. You can shoot
in any way, drop the images in PTGui and it can usually figure out
automatically in which way the images overlap.

You can take (for example) 5 or 6 images around with the camera tilted
upwards by about 10 degrees, so that the images overlap in the zenith.
Then you don't have to take a separate zenith image.

You can then add a single nadir (floor) image with the camera taken off
the tripod. You can use viewpoint correction for the nadir image if it's
not taken from exactly the same viewpoint.
See https://www.ptgui.com/examples/vptutorial.html

Be sure to set up your panoramic head correctly so that there is no
parallax (there are some videos on youtube).

Kind regards,

Hi Mario !
With a full-frame camera and the Samyang 12mm. f/2.8, you need 5 or 6 frames around, at +15° degrees up, and a "deported" Nadir image (moving the tripod ~1.5 meter away and tilt the camera ~45° down), so that you can use the VIEWPOINT CORRECTION technique ! This way you won't need to take a Zenith image !

Hi JPS,

So isn't +12.5 degrees enough to fill the zenith?
