Und überall glitzert die warme Herbstsonne durchs Laub. Der Herbst von seiner schönsten Seite.

The panotools projections are very versatile to achieve different mappings.

I wanted to take a photo of a tall object but could not step back for a normal view angle. In this case to capture the restaurant with its palm trees from the pathway.

Both full frame fisheye pictures for a good vertical and horizontal coverage to start with:

Each of the projection has a different mapping. The Transversal projections (rotated 90°) are not used here because of the horizontal distortion:

The full frame fisheye projection:

The Equirectangular projection:

The Vedutismo projection:

The Cylindric projection:

The Rectangular projection:

And the Mercator projection.
The restaurant with the largest 🌴 in Hawaii.

With the limited view from a balcony, the result is a half spherical panorama with 180°×180°.
This is quite different from the Tower Panorama.

In the Balcony Panorama, the half sphere is to one side only:

In this example, 6 full frame fisheye pictures cover the 180°×180°:

The 360°×180° equirectangular panorama editor view displays only half the view as expected:

The cropped picture shows the equirectangular projection of the half sphere:

Different projection can be used to minimize the visible distortion.
The Transversal projections are ideal because of the large vertical field of view.

The Transversal Equirectangular projection:

or the edge-of-the-world projection:

The Transversal Cylindrical projection:

The Transversal Mercator projection:

The Transversal Vedutismo projection:

The Stereographic (circular fisheye) projection:

And the little Planet projection:

Compared to the Cylindrical projection:

And the normal rectangular projection.
That wide angle lens has to cover 150°. Good to have a 🐟👁:

The Hilton Hawaiian Village is a resort hotel next to the Kahanamoku Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii.
It is one of the largest hotels on the island and features a large variety of shops and restaurants for tourists.

Die nördwestliche Verlängerung des Waikiki-Strandes, aber viel breiter, nicht so überfüllt und viel schöner.
