Taking 360 panoramic photo with EOS Rebel T6i

[darth_daniel]

Hi

I recently purchased a Canon EOS Rebel T6i with a tripod, wireless shutter release, focus 58mm 3 piece filter kit, Focus 58mm wide angle lens and EFS 10 - 55 mm image stabilizer. I was hoping to learn how to take 360 degree panoramic photos but I'm completely clueless on how and where to start.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

What I suggested to the OP will work.  Why was there a need to further complicate it.  Photostitch is designed for that person.

It is an amateur program but even LR will not stitch photos that don't have the data it requires.  Usually happens when UWA lenses are used.

Actually, Ernie, I just simply pointed out that using a very wide angle lens will not work for stitching into panoramas.  Besides, using a wide angle half defeats the purpose, IMHO. 

Using an 85mm lens to shoot the images of the bridge, I obtained a highly detailed image of the entire bridge.  I printed it out on our large format printer, and th detail is awesome to behold, despite being B&W..  It's 36" tall, and over 10 feet wide.  I have also printed out smaller, 11x17, prints, of the original shots, framed and lined them up on a wall, too.

Using a 24mm lens, I could have captured the entire bridge in 3 or 4 shots, but without as much of the fine details.

Does anyone know of a photostitch type software for mac?

Adobe Photoshop elements can do it. It is called photomerge.
