對於想要拍攝全景的新手來說,不可或缺的三個東西是(1)全景雲台(2)廣角鏡頭 以及(3)接圖軟體。
當然不用說,腳架和照相機是一定要的啦~其中我認為全景雲台是最重要的。為什麼呢?因為廣角鏡頭只是提供了一個「比較便利」的取景工具,就算是用一般的鏡頭,還是可以完成球狀全景的拍攝的。而接圖軟體有免費的Pano tools,或是也有很多試用版的接圖軟體。
360rage蒐集了不少全景雲台,無論是有興趣進入全景攝影領域,或是想要自己開發一個雲台,都是很好的彙整資料。在其中,我使用的是Panosarurs,為什麼要用這一個呢?有一個很簡單的原因就是因為價格因素。對於一個在門外張望的人來說,一下子要付出兩三萬台幣來買硬體。實在是相當大的門檻,雖然說網路上也有不少人教你怎麼用木頭或是鋁塊,甚至是螺絲版手組裝一個可以用的全景雲台,但對於還沒有吃到飯的人要叫他去打一個鍋子出來,實在是有點太殘忍了。
Panosarurs用的是一種合成板,我不知道確切的材質是什麼,但其實還蠻合用的。第一,他本身附有量角裝置,所以可以不用花大錢去買。第二,他是一個可以拍攝球型全景的雲台。這是相當重要的一點,因為很多初學者不知道怎樣挑雲台,而買了只能旋轉,不能仰俯的雲台。
繼數個月前我的腳架發生的慘劇之後,上禮拜我把腳架(包含雲台)放在門後面,結果進門時一推把腳架給推倒了,碰的一聲把布丁嚇了一跳,而我的雲台也摔裂了。摔壞的只有一個部分,就是上面那支水平懸臂,有個移動台固定在上面那個。我寫信給雲台的賣家,希望他能賣我一個新的。沒想到他很慷慨,願意免費從美國再寄一個給我。這下免了我買新雲台的費用,我又可以繼續拍照了。看看裡面一些人對於其他產品的惡劣印象,我想,至少這個便宜的雲台客戶服務做得還不錯吧!

Project - Taipei's Day & Night
I would like to hold a project called "Taipei's Day & Night", showing panoramic sights in Taipei, Taiwan with a shifting view.
Of course this will ba a tough work. Especially I get a doggy mate in my home about two weeks ago. This project will be expressed in English, because I want people who are interested in travelling in Taiwan can find this information.
In practice, it seems impossible to shoot the day image and wait there for 10 hours and take the night one. So I might have to take a series of day photos, go home and take a break, then take the night series in another go. Probably a nother day. Therefore, to remember where exactly the day photo was shot will be curcial. The only solution comes to my mind is chalk, although many deadly shortcomings show up immediately. Firsy, I will definately miss the marker after a couple of days later. There are too many factorys can erase the marker. Second, I can't record the height of picture. This can make serious error when showing the picture, as you can see in my last work.
Anyway, have a long way to go!
