There was a time when photographs were just flat images
that you stashed away in an album. However, today's tools and techniques let you take pictures with an added dimension, so you can relive them like you are in the
moment all over again.
Here are some advancements in
photographic technology that you can try out right now:
Photo sphere
We've all seen those extra-wide panorama shots that help bring out the magnificence of mountain ranges, rolling grasslands and looming skylines... but what if you wanted to see everything the photographer could see in every
direction?
That's precisely what photo spheres are for.A photo sphere is captured by taking pictures in every field
of view from a single point, and stitching them together so viewers can pan 360-degrees and up and down; it feels like they're truly sharing the photographer's perspective from where he/she was standing.
You can now capture your own photo spheres using mobile apps, including Google Camera (Android), Photo Sphere by Google (iOS) and Sphere.
And the process is easy enough: just stand in one spot, follow the on-screen dot on your device to take shots of a still scene (so yes,
ask friends to kindly stay still or keep out of your scene for a minute) in every direction, and let the app stitch the photos together into a lovely photo sphere.
Advanced photographers can share equi-rectangular (360-degree by 180-degree) images from their DSLRs on Google + and allow the Auto Awesome feature to convert them into web- and mobile-friendly photo spheres.
When you're finished shooting, you can showcase your photo spheres on Google Maps for others to discover as they navigate the globe on their desktops and mobile
devices, or share your creations with the Sphere app community and other social networks, and find gorgeous new places to visit and sights to see, in all their 360-degree
glory.
