I started to work in the area of spherical panoramic photography back in 2002. I used the Nikon Coolpix 995 / EC8 combination for quite a while. I started to shoot full screen spherical panoramas in May 2005. In 2007 I started to make pole shots and crowd shooting.
I usually participate at the World Wide Panorama event.

I'm interested in panoramas since I started taking pictures digitally. The "real" start came when I read the book "The Wild Side of Photography" by Cyril Harnischmacher. In one chapter was a description of making little planets. That was in spring 2010. Since then I have taken about 90 panos. In the meantime I use a Nodal Ninja 5 and a Sigma 10-20 to take the panos.
I first came into contact with panoramic photography back in 2009 when a friend showed me some little planet pictures he created with Hugin. Since then I was hooked and started to devour tutorials on how to create such astonishing pictures.
Initially I was using equipment I borrowed from the university where I studied at the time. Later on I got my own gear suited for the task. The technique improved over time, as hopefully did the results as well ;-)
Enjoy.
