Panorama FAQ

How were the panoramas made?
Easy peasy! No specialist hardware is needed to create the panoramas - any old camera will do! Simply take a series of photos in a big circle and let the excellent Photovista software stitch it all together for you.

Although it does a good job of lining everything up, I usually have to spend some time tweaking the image in Photoshop to get rid of weird things like floating heads and half-disappearing cars!

What cameras were used?
All the panoramas were created on digital cameras, including the Sony Cybershot DCS-F55DX and Sony DSC-S70 camera.

Using the interactive panoramas
Each panorama has a toolbar (bottom right). Use the '+' sign to zoom in, the '-' to zoom out. Click and drag on the image to move around. Simply click on the image to stop the cray-zee spinning!
