Hi all!
We’re building a THETA Technique Gallery that focuses on helping 360 degree photographers understand settings and options for taking good photographs.
Each photograph on the site includes the techniques that were used to make it. Try it out!
At the same time, we’re doing a poll to better understand how you are taking and using 360 degree images. This will help us improve the site and provide better information back to the community.
If you end up choosing “Other” for some of the questions, please reply to this post with more details.
Looking forward to including your opinions and experience! Thank you!
