Info
The tripod legs are seen in the lower
part of this image, but it is possible to
avoid them. Use the centre column to
gain elevation and don’t extend the main
legs. We used a small travel tripod so,
unextended, the main legs were very
short. Besides, with the 360-degree
coverage you don’t really need a lot of
height. Note too, the stitching mis-match
at top left... this beam was actually very
close to the camera.
In print the KM 360 files reproduce as
an equirectangular image with a 2:1
aspect ratio, but Facebook automatically
converts them into interactive 360-degree
pictures that you can move around
via swiping. If you want to keep the
equirectangular framing, save the image
through Photoshop as ‘Save For Web &
Devices’ which strips out the Exif data,
including the camera type (which is the
info Facebook uses).
Depending on the subject’s location –
and distance from the camera – some
stitching mis-matches will occur (such as
with my left leg in this image). They’re
not so evident in video footage. You can
have some fun deciding how to include
yourself in the image.
