Thank you, Nick, for sharing this cool #sunset view of #London and the River Thames. When it's clear, the #panoramic views of London can be quite breathtaking.

With our #A2Z-PanoPhotos weekly series taking a break, we're looking at the next #weekC - #cities or #capitals?

Thought you might enjoy this panoramic view of last night’s sunset in London @panophotos.bsky.social from the Shard to the city and the beautiful Tower Hamlets and Southwark riversides.

An inverted little planet view of Dysart Harbour, once a thriving port for coal and salt.
Now peaceful and still, its circular world feels almost other-worldly.
What does it make you think of — a tiny planet, a whirlpool, or something else entirely?

It's an awesome Alouette lake #pano in #Autumn, Ian!

Located in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada, it's also a reservoir created by the 1928 Alouette Dam which significantly increased the size of the original lake.

Thanks for sharing this #reflective peaceful view. 😊

💠 #A2Z-PanoPhotos #week360 for #360°

Wow... definitely more than a 360° view with the repetition of a few landmarks in this wide #pano.

Thanks so much, Juma, for going extra wide and beyond a 360° rotation to show what such a #pano looks like. It's a great view of Fukuoka City Museum in Japan! 😊

It's definitely more than 180° as it's closer to a 360° rotation on the tripod mount to capture this gorgeous #verto.

Thanks, Nigel, for sharing this beautiful #verto inside the St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe church in London, UK. 😊

This is a 180 degree #vertorama of St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe - a #ChristopherWren church in the city.

Thank you, Jiun, for sharing this wonderfully wide #pano of the Ohori Park in central Fukuoka, Japan.

The spectacular water scenery at Ohori Park is symbolized by the 3 islands in the park’s lake and the 4 bridges that connect them.

Makes me want to visit Fukuoka now! 😊

Is it time to chill and grill? I've always thought that #Fall or #Autumn is the best time to grill outdoors - not too hot with just a mild, nice weather.

Thanks, Jules, for sharing this lovely outdoor public grill #pano with us. With a roof in the background, it almost looks like a birdhouse! 😊

panoramic film photo of a public charcoal grill in a park. there's trees and a path and boats and a trash can and a shack/hut of some sort and a woman standing in the out of focus background.
i don't know why anyone would cook on a public grill, it seems wildly unsafe but idk people do.

The equirectangular projection #pano has the complete 360° spherical view of the world around the photographer.

Using an app, it can be used to create all types of #panos such as a horizontal, a vertical, a fisheye, or a #tinyPlanet. Also used in a VR viewer.

Thanks, Caro, for an almost 360° #panoramic view of a crowded bridge with views of the Neuschwanstein Castle in Schwangau, Germany.

How do you like the Lomography Spinner 360° camera? Sounds like the perfect camera to capture a wide 360° #panorama. 😊

Excellent stitch job (from 6 images) of this colorful #mural without the perspective distortions, Brian! What a beautiful mural too. We can see your shadow selfie twice.
