I was
recently lucky enough to use a
Spheron HDR
panoramic
camera for a commercial shoot, and some examples are shown below.
The Spheron captures a full 360° digital photograph with an
exposure range of 26 stops, and whilst presenting a whole new range
of technical and creative issues to deal with, is nevertheless a
wonderful piece of equipment, which I hope to play with again soon!
The panoramic HDR images are used as real-world lighting solutions
for 3D rendering software, and give unparalleled realism.
Many
thanks go to
Lightwork Design
for
permission to show the photos here, and special thanks also go to
everyone who helped me capture these images - you know who you are.
NEWS:
I'm leading a
Spheron HDR camera workshop
at The Workstation, Sheffield on 11th November 2009 as part of
Digital Week.
The
workshop runs from 10am-4pm, and will be presented in conjunction with
SpheronVR, demonstrating
all the capabilities of this amazing piece of kit, for 3D rendering,
scene analysis and forensics. |
