Church of the Covenant meets Ricoh Theta

1/24/2014

2 Comments

 
Last Sunday, I brought my Ricoh Theta camera to church.  Here are some of the photos I took.  I was a little disappointed in the quality of the pictures.  On a brighter day, I think the pictures could be better -- although interior pictures aren't the best with this camera.  I have another idea about how to do similar pictures of the church interior.

Meeting of ad hoc Community Center Advisory Committee in new Lexington Community Center

1/16/2014

2 Comments

 
Yesterday, the Committee met for the first time in the building at 39 Marrett Rd.  To mark the occassion, I took this photograph with my Ricoh Theta camera.  This Photo Sphere is the result of one button click with no subsequent processing.  Improvements in the exposure, lighting and color balance could be achieved by use of standard photo processing tools.  The output of the camera is a standard JPEG.  The auto rotating and explorable image is added by software provided by Ricoh.

Ricoh Theta on 4 different websites

1/5/2014

5 Comments

 
There are at least four major websites that can be used to host 360 degree panoramas (aka, PhotoSpheres): Ricoh Theta, Microsoft PhotoSynth, Google Views, and 360 Cities.  Here is a comparison of how Photo Spheres appear wheb embedded from these websites.

Ricoh Theta

Publishing to the Ricoh Theta website is built into the smartphone apps≥  Unfortunately I can't find a recipe for publishing 360 degree panoramas produced by methods other than the Theta to the Theta website.

This is the first shot I took with my new Ricoh Theta 360°.  It can take a photo like this with one shutter click.  These photos can be embedded in web pages.  Use your mouse to move around the image.
