360 photography – how can you do it?

By: Ken Wilson

If you are interested in 360 photography you should know you can have a 360 virtual tour of your own. Whether you want to sell your house and are considering posting the tour on line or you just want to have it for yourself, there are different ways of getting such a tour. They vary from buying it to doing it yourself from top to bottom, and it only depends on your possibility of getting involved in such a project.

Making a 360 virtual tour is not a difficult thing once you know it. But for people who are no experts it may seem hard as it is interesting. If you are looking to make such a tour you have a few options. You can hire someone to make it for you, you can try and do it yourself or you can go to a 360 photography class and become an expert in virtual tour photography.

The easiest way to make a 360 virtual tour if you don’t know a thing about professional photography is to hire someone to do it. There are a few companies out there that do this. You can search on line for such companies that will also give you a free tutorial and even access to down loading a free demo program. But if you still think it is to difficult contact them and you will have your virtual tour in a few days. Most of the customers are realtors who do not have time to create the tour themselves, so you can imagine the quality is quite good.

The next option would be the old DIY way. This works if you like learning about new computer applications even if you do not know much about 360 photography. Depending on how often you intend to use the application you can download it (either for free or for a sum of money) or you can buy one from a specialized store or directly from camera producers. Virtual tour photography has a simple principle: you take more pictures and then you use software to stitch them together. Depending on what you want and how good you get you can look for certain features that do not come with all applications.

If you decide to do this please have in mind that you can find very good applications for free, or you can pay very large sums of money for them. However, the final result only depends on you and on the quality of your photographs. If your 360 virtual tour is not as good as you expected do not blame it on the software, as it is only your fault. Remember that only practice makes perfect, and very rarely a novice gets best results from the first try. So don’t be discouraged if your tour is not perfect at first. Instead, try to enjoy the process of making it yourself and keep trying until you are satisfied with your results.

The third option would be to invest in a 360 photography class. However, you should do this only if you are seriously thinking of becoming a 360 virtual tour photographer, or if you have a lot of time and money to invest in your hobby. Yes, if you are a good student you will most likely learn how to make excellent virtual tours, but you have to think if it is worth investing your time and money. Such classes are recommended to people who want to specialize in this branch, but if you feel strongly about doing it then you should definitely do it. Who knows, you might even end up creating virtual tours for other people.
