A great means to display spaces are spherical panoramas. Often produced in high quality, they can display incredible detail. I took my gear along on a recent trip to Europe and shot a spherical panorama whenever there was an opportunity to do so. Having been back from this trip this article presents a summary of our travels.
We flew from Utah to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, back in May of 2011. Places that we saw included the cities of Utrecht, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Interestingly, each city has different things to offer in terms of architecture and culture and whenever I was given an opportunity I shot a high quality spherical panorama using a better quality camera with a fish-eye lens.
The Netherlands is located in Western Europe and counts about 16 million inhabitants. This country is bordered by Germany to the east, Belgium to the south and the North Sea to both the west and the north. Traveling across the entire territory from west to east, or from north to south takes less than 3 hours by car.
During our time in South Holland, one of a number of provinces in the Netherlands, we visited Delft. The city of Delft is known for a good few reasons, including the city's technical university. The city center offers a very typical Dutch look in terms of architecture but also because of a network of canals. Different museums and cathedrals or churches are also found in the city center of Delft.
Delft is located in between to bigger cities: Rotterdam and The Hague. The Hague is home to the Dutch government and the International Court. Further north one will find the city of Leiden, which is also located in the Dutch province of South Holland, in Dutch "Zuid-Holland." Interestingly, the city of Delft was home to famous painter Vermeer, who was buried inside the Old Church. I shot spherical panoramas throughout the city and look forward to publishing these soon.
We very much enjoyed our recent trip to the Netherlands and hope to enjoy a similar journey to some of the other countries in Europe, including France and Spain. One of my next cities to see and shoot is the city of Barcelona.
What always has fascinated me is the uniqueness in culture and such that these countries have to offer. Europe is a wonderful destination to those seeking adventures of all kinds, including the shooting of spherical panoramas and such.
