Nice work. Btw you seem to have taken with UWA lens, how do you deal with the distortion when merging the pics using Photomerge in PS? I tried to do it but the edges never overlap properly.

I testing new equipment, this is done with a FC-E8 via a UR-E20 on a P5100. I stitch using PTGui and never with Photoshop. Just tell PTGui it's a fisheye with 187 degrees FOV and it's more or less auto. Yes, i know, the specs say FOV for the FC-E8 is 182 but using 187 in PTGui seems to work seamlessly more often.

I took 4 shots, 90 degrees per shot. You can in theory use 3 or even 2 shots but 4 shots for now to test out the equipment.

Thanks for the comments.

If my guess is not wrong, this is what etegration meant....

He shot with a Nikon Coolpix 5100 camera that was mount with a UR-E20 adapter on to a FC-E8 bracket to expose the frame.

He uses PTGUI software to stitch the images together.
