Bill is former CEO of Bill Bailey LLC dba Nodal Ninja (15 years 2004 to 2019 and has since retired. Bill is widely respected in the community for his support to the arts and in bringing greater exposure to panoramic photography.

My name is William Ricci.  I am currently a freshman at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA.  I've been studying panoramic photography for nearly a year.  I want to travel to secluded areas and record beauty that most people will never see.  I'm working to mimic reality as much as possible.    

I've recently made a new website dedicated to advertising my real estate photography.  I create 360-degree immersive "virtual" tours that put viewers inside the photo.  Check out my website and feel free to tell people about it!

Bill Heller specializes in assignment architecture and food photography on the west coast of the United States.  Specialties include high resolution VR and Time Lapse photography for marketing campaigns. 

In addition to always pushing the bounds of creativity, Bill has a long history of working with startups and running his own business. So if you are looking for a true creative professional, who can understand your needs as a business owner, creative director or event promotions professional, you have come to the right place. 

I have been a lecturer in Geology at The University of Newcastle for the past 30 years.  My main reason for learning how to take full spherical panoramas was to aid with the development of virtual field trips.  More recently, the scope of these panoramas has expanded into the fields of architecture, botany, history and natural heritage.

In terms of equipment, I am a bit of a 'purist'.  All panoramas have been captured with Pentax DSLRs - early on with a K-70, then moving on to a K-3 Mark iii, and more recently a K-1 Mark ii.  Lens used is typically the SMC Pentax-DA 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 Fish-Eye ED [IF], with the exception of the infrared panoramas which were captured with the SMC Pentax-DA 12-24mm F4 ED AL [IF] and a Hoya R72 filter.  As of August 2023, I have been using the film era prime SMC Pentax-A 16mm F2.8 Fish-Eye with the K1 mark ii.  Higher resolution panoramas are captured with a Pentax-D HD FA 21mm f/2.4 ED Limited DC WR lens.  Cameras are mounted on a Cavix PH-720A panoramic head, which is in turn mounted on a Vanguard Alta Pro 2+ 263AP tripod.  I shoot RAW imagery that is then processed in ACR and stitched in PTGui Pro.

I took my first spherical panorama in 2007 but didn't get fully into the hobby until a few years later.   Despite doing this for awhile, I'm still learning new techniques as I go.  I take photos of anything & everything, particularly of offbeat places only the locals would know about (or maybe not know about); my primary themes include:

Mountain summits (including gigapixels)

Lakes/waterfalls/bodies of water

Glacial geomorphology

Geology

Historical sites

Places of mystery/tragedy/crime

Caves/mines/tunnels

Aerials

Abandoned ruins/places in decay

Fire lookout towers

Cemeteries/specific graves/veteran memorials

Night scenes/cityscapes

Floral & botany

Trashed & destroyed vehicles

Art scenes/one-of-a-kinds

Anything of sentimental value

Photographing has always been my pictoral diary as one never knows when something is going to change.  Many of my adventures have been of solo exploration & I hope for many more.

Hello, my name is Timothy Oldfield, a virtual tour photographer (actually, the ONLY 360° photographer) with Washington State 360.  ;)

The Washington State 360 Project is my way of assisting with the "warm introduction" to various locations around the state of Washington in these United States of America.

Most of the 360-degree (fully-spherical) panoramas I capture or create are now being posted here on "360cities.net", and many are also being shared on Google Street View and Google Maps through my Trusted Photographer account, and Local Guide account (for posting of snapshots, often voluntarily, to assist small businesses and non-profits with editing and otherwise delineating their Maps listings). If you have a VR headset, Google Cardboard viewer, or other stereo viewer, click on the tiny cardbord goggles icon and enjoy another level of experience.  ;)

Studies have shown that VR Tours (sets of Virtual Reality panoramas) can boost visitor-count dramatically.  Once virtually in-the-door, your location becomes more engagingly "familiar", which allows most virtual visitors to more easily drop residual resistance, and perhap raise their curiosity, thereby increasing the likelihood of visiting for real.  Which in turn allows them to promote your establishment to acquaintences.

While building these collections of 360-degree panoramas, I also enjoy keeping the locations and subjects diverse.  Sometimes it is fun to allow a viewer to experience a perspective not generally open to the public (for safety, insurability, security or other reasons), such as venturing into a production area or out onto a condemned bridge, etcetera.  What would you like to share from a unique perspective? 

All of the 360 Images are shot with Black Forest Motion gear. 

Photography has been one of my favorite hobbies most of my life, but when I discovered 360 panoramas back in 2006, it became an inspiration. I struggled with different lenses, cameras rotators and software for a while before finding a few people in the 360 Cities that have helped me find a new level of skill. Now I take my panorama setup everywhere.
