360 Virtual Tours with Flash

Hi Nathan. Great video as always. One question… would using a Luminosity mask plug-in such as TK or Lumenzia be an option for creating the masks or is there a benefit to creating them manually as you demonstrate? Thanks!

Thx for this video Nathan... Just a couple of questions....
1/ is it necessary to shoot with a fisheye lens ?
2/ what about shooting in HDR in low light like a bar ?
3/ you took 1 shot of the top but nothing of the floor. Any reason for that ? what would happen if the viewer just decides to look down ?

Thx in advance for your answer.

Once you have the jpeg created how do you display the continous 360 motion for the jpeg? Thanks great educational tools.

Hi Nathan. I'm getting a fantastic amount of info and advice from your no-nonsense videos. Thanks for your hard work.
I wondered if you could help? I've just bought a used Samyang 8mm f3.5 lens to shoot VTs with a Nikon APS-c DSLR. It's is nice and sharp but I'm getting a lot of flare spots when I point it anywhere near a window. Is this a characteristic of the lens or have I been sold a dud? I'd be grateful for any advice. Thanks

Great videos. I'm a fan now!

Link for the 360 tool?

Hi what is the best program today to do sewing and navigation.
I used Kolor and stopped manufacturing

Nathan do you recommend using the Iguide camera setup compared to this process? Note, I am just starting out with 360/virtual and real estate photography. Do you have a tutorial on that setup?
Thanks
Leroy

Hey Nathan, What camera and lens combo is this that you used? :)

I learn very much in youre video's 👌🔥❤

Has anyone here tried this on a FF Canon camera using the Canon 11-24 Lens? It's rectilinear and not fisheye which I"m not sure will work right....I happen to have one laying around.
I"ll experiment with it, but just curious if anyone here had experience using it for 360 Pano to be used in virtual tours. 
It's an unusual lens.

Thanks for these clear and informative videos.
Quick question: why ISO 320 and not 100?

Great video Nathan! For the ambient interior VT what WB is the camera set to? Auto?

Great work Nathan you have helped my Real Estate work enormously! Thanks you.

hello Nathan thanks for the video! i've got an issue on Marzipano, when i try to upload my panorama image it just says: "1 file isgnored, images not 1:1 cubic or 2:1" but why? the image i'm trying to upload is a panorama done on PTGui... thanks in advance!

Nathan sir are you going to add more of a comparison between the DSLR and Tetha Z1 where more than just single exposure is involved (luminosity masking w/ exposure blending on the Z1)? Quite liked the comparison, so thanks alot!

Thanks Nathan...first, like your url placement. Nice vid. couple of qs; did you use the z1 hdr mode? With the zoom at normal, z1 pretty good. CA more than dslr as expected. what is your pricing in your area for z1 and dslr 360s? i live in socal also. What platform do you use for the 360s?

Nathan, just bought your book re: to 360 ... great help. When you looked back at your pano after making it, what program did you use to see the 360 pano? Or were you doing a 360 spherical in photoshop and viewing it there. Second question: with 16 bit, the pano goes darker than if it's an 8bit file ... any reason for this. Keep up the great tutorials.

Question on your sample images you used in this video. The format you are bringing into PTGUI are Tif's, but the Nikon D610 only saves in JPG and/or Raw. Did you convert the NEF to TIF in photoshop prior to bringing them into PTGUI? Thank you ahead of time for your answer.

great video. thank you for providing the information. Question for you. I noticed that you didn't shoot down? Why wouldn't you shoot the nadir and then photoshop out the tripod.. just curious. once again, thank you for providing rich information. I am trying to make the transition from using the simple Insta360 One X, to a DSLR workflow to capture better details

Thank you for your very informative tutorials. They led me to take the first steps in this type of photography. From these I noticed you put the camera at about chest height. However, when I do the same with a FF camera at 14 or 16mm and try to have the verticals as vertical as possible right off the camera (...as you recommend) I end up with too much ceiling on the composition. Should I point the camera slightly down and then deal with the converging verticals later on, in post?. Thanks for any input.

Thank you for this video! I've already read the book and got my NN6 yesterday. Hope I can do this...BTW your home is beautiful :)

Can you just crop the bottom out instead of the black bar? Thanks for all the great videos!

Great video. I have been shooting virtual tours for commercial clients professionally for almost 4 years. Really looking forward to seeing how you use flash with DSLR though!!

Thank you

Hi Nathan. Just to let you know, I've learned so much from your videos, and your book Photography for Real Estate Interiors, that I own a printed copy. I'm moving to 360 as soon as my pano head arrives from Amazon. I'm undoubtedly interested in your upcoming video, where you'll explain the technique of photographing 360 using flash—looking forward to seeing it. Thank you for your clear an "to the point" educational videos.

HEY!!! You painted the dining room! 😄 I would love to see a video comparing the DSLR to the Z1.

What tour hosting do you use? Thx!

I like the link on the wall.

Hi Nathan! Nice video! Have you ever used 6 lens cameras? Like Kandao Obsidian or Insta 360? Thanks for the video.

Thanks Nathan, would a 14mm be wide enough? Could you do 5 exposures or does that get too complicated...

Excellent information

I like the narrated video along with the ebook. I'm wondering about the comparison with the Xphase Pro S. I've seen videos reviews of the Xphase Pro S that show better detail than a DSLR. I'm trying to decide which 360 camera to buy.

Great Post

As always, super helpful! I would be interested in comparing the Z1 utilizing the dual fisheye plugin with 7 DNG /HDR image brackets to the DSLR method with out flash.

Thanks bro!
