60 Dazzling Panorama And Vertorama Photos

Our post here today is on panorama and interactive panorama photos. A panorama is any wide view of a physical space. Some digital cameras have features that help you to take multiples photos in sequence that can later be manipulated into a large panoramic image. A true panoramic photo is a continuous scene of at least 110 degrees. Many panoramic photos are about the width of the field of human vision, while some go as wide as 360 degrees. Panorama photos can be classified as vertorama (vertical panorama), polar, planar or flat, cylindrical, equi-rectangular, and so on. This post contains a huge collection of all different kinds of panorama and interactive panorama photos. We are sure you'll like them.
