Wedding 360 degree Panoramas

A new service that I’m offering wedding clients is  Wedding 360 degree panoramas during the reception or perhaps other points during the day.  These panoramas are made in the same way as the Google Business View virtual tours and will become a part of the Google Maps and Google StreetView when they are created.  This product is called Google Views, and it is a really interesting way to document either the entire guest list or the bridal party.  The photos are called Equirectangular and are 360 degrees in every direction.  The only way to properly view these is to view them with a flash or HTML5 viewer or using the software that bends these back to a sphere such as Google Maps/StreetView.  This is how I’m doing it now, you can view these on Google.

Here’s some examples of some of these that I’ve done in recent weddings.  When I meet with you to discuss wedding photography, I’ll bring this up as an option to your package.

Carborro Business Virtual Tour – Back Alley Bikes

Back Alley Bikes relocated to their new location last year.  I had shot their virtual tour at their old location on Graham street before they moved, and they called me back to do it again at the new location.  They are now on Boyd street which is off of Main street, right where Chapel Hill ends and Carborro begins.  The new location gives them a lot more room and they seem to be very happy in Carborro.  If you have a bike and need some maintenance or accessories, or need a new bike, Jason at the Back Alley Bikes is the person to come see.

Check out the location now with their new virtual tour!
