Making panoramas professionally since 2007.
Made virtual tours of the pyramids (outside), a submarine, and lots of Bulgarian landmarks such as the Belogradchick rocks, Perperikon, Shipka etc.
Shot virtual tours for big businesses such as Technopolis, The Mall (in Sofia), Chevrolet, Pierre Cardin.
Done tours for many small businesses on budget all across Bulgaria - shops, family hotels etc.
Made free public service panoramas for churches and schools.
Shot from rooftops, helicopter, forklift, inside a submarine, ship engine room, cars.
Taught some of the Bulgarian panorama photographers how to shoot and make tours, some of them becoming quite popular.
Done lots of subcontractor work for other virtual tour companies, shooting other important landmarks.
Calculating pricing of tours based on the amount of work, not the size of the client.
Part of commercial work done can be seen at the company page
Some of the more interesting panoramas are in the blog
Some of the old low-res (shot with mirror) and new high-res panos are at the main public page
Lots of work done is not shown on these sites, so send me any questions at ds (at) 360.bg
I'm a retired software and systems engineer who worked in cancer research, medical imaging and chip design. I got hooked on panoramic photography in 2004, when I converted a document scanner into a rotating digital slit camera. Eventually built 5 of those; but finally realized I could only get the pictures I wanted by using real cameras and stitching software.
I got into developing open source panography software (Hugin, libpano) around 2008. In 2009, I co-rediscovered an 18th century painters' technique for rendering wide views in a natural looking perspective, and have been evangelizing it unde the name "Panini projection" (it has been implemented several times and is also called the "vedutismo" and "recti-perspective" projection). I developed and published several programs that offer new ways to control wide angle photo and video perspective, under the general name, "Panini".
My latest effort is PT3D, a helper program for stitching stereoscopic panoramas with PTGui. I hope eventually to develop a true 3D stitching tool, that can combine hand-held stereo snapshots into seamless spherical panoramas.

I've had a life-long interest in photography that started back in the film days. I even had a darkroom at one point. Then came digital and things really got fun.
I've always viewed photography as a way to show others as realistically as possible the beautiful places on earth. For years I felt like standard single-frame photography was like looking through a key-hole.
Then came single-row panoramas and the key-hole opened up. I could photograph to some degree what I was seeing.
Finally, I found spherical panoramas and the key-hole is gone - one more dimensional limitation removed. Now I feel like I can show the viewer what I saw.
