My first work that I feel is worth sharing.
These are a series of 360-panorama photos I took with the spark. I've been having fun shooting these, and thought I'd like to take my Insta360 One X up in the air so I can shoot slightly higher resolution 360's than what the Spark was giving me. It's complicated - extra weight, down sensor interference - anyway, I'll try again, because I think a 360 video where you're flying up into the air would be pretty cool.
However, in the meantime, I realized that the DJI app was discarding almost all of the photo data when it stitches the 46 images into one 360 panorama. You end up with relatively low-resolution photos, which look cool, but lack detail. So, I got to investigating... in the end, I used Microsoft Image Composite Editor, and then Exif Pilot in inject the correct XMP photosphere tags, and by some miracle (everything Iv'e read says that the limit is 100 megapixels) I'm able to upload to my google photos (and even street view) at full resolution, which, after this process, comes out to about 146 megapixels. If you have a google cardboard, daydream or some other 360/VR device, these photos are extra interesting to look at. I think the last couple are the best, and they're from 500m elevation (over the roof of my house
).
