Non spherical panoramas

The following panoramas are stitched together from multiple images

Salamis_round Spherical images can be projected in many different ways. This is a polar projection of the Salamis Panorama from above. It contains all information as the one above. The center is directly below and the outer circle is up.
Suspension Bridge in Clifton The Clifton Suspension Bridge spans the Avon Gorge in Bristol, UK. This image is an extreme High Dynamic Range image (Two times the dynamic range the human eye can see). To display the image on a normal screen, it had to be compressed in dynamic range again (tonemapping). Now both the bridgeil ghts and the dark trees and shrubs are visible.
