Default 360 degree images...

I've a client looking to get some 360 degree pictures of rooms ...

They are based in galway though (and their budget isn't up to much I would assume) its for a B&B ... what would be my best bet for doing this or getting someone to do it ?

I'd be inclined to take digital camera turn it around a few times and through the power of photoshop ... make a 360 degree image ...

Anyone any thoughts on it ?

(I know there are lens you can get that will take an image like this ... but one .. I don't have a dSLR ... and two I wouldn't use it enough to justify the lens)

Cheers,
James

I can't see a B&B paying for it to be done professionally like that though.

Peter would be able to give you some good advice though.

I have clients using this crowd but not sure of their pricing:

yeah pretty much can't see them paying too much either ... (and not for someone to come from dublin / wicklow to do it)

Don't think anyone I know would have the type of lens for this either. (though I know some decent photographers)

Hmm... the multiple shots approach might be the easiest way to go about it.

Cheers for the help guys.

IMO just say if can't pay, then no. Easier in the long run. Otherwise you end up killing yourself for peanuts.

Normally I'm inclined to say you're right ... in this case ... its one of those friend of a friend type things (which makes it even worse and which I know I shouldn't get involved in but such is life ... )

Thumbs up School project.

For a school project I did this. I basically took a tripod and using a digital camera took pictures in a circle.

Just make sure nobody is in the pictures and that nothing moves .

I used some freeware / shareware software to put it all together in a .mov or quicktime file from memory.

I inserted it from there into a Flash file for the project I was working on.

I can't recall the names of the software I used because it was like 4 years ago, but it worked ok.

* I feel sorry for you doing one of those friend of a friend projects.

Should be a handy enough project though .. once the photos are out of the way ... and I'll have no problems dumping the images together in photoshop ... and the flash is simple enough as well
