Aerial panoramas are made with a drone and multiple images taken at about 200 feet. Anywhere from 20-40 images are taken as the drone’s camera rotates around 360 degrees, tilting up and down to capture both the sky and the ground below. Then, these images are stitched together into a panorama using special programs like PTGU or AutoPano Giga. The resulting image can then be wrapped around as a cylinder. Quality panoramas are seamless with no joins visible between the pictures, especially in the sky. This is particularly difficult because the drone cannot photograph the sky directly above it. So special techniques in editing are used to “paste in the sky.”
Barrett’s Trucking, South Burlington
Here is an example of an aerial panorama of Barrett’s huge storage sheds for salt. Each shed stores thousands of tons of salt for Vermont roads in the winter. Salt is normally stored outside which leads to run-off when it rains or gets covered in snow. The salt sheds keep it dry and aerated and more easily accessible.
Lake Willoughby, South Beach on a summer’s day in 2017
Lake Willoughby in northeastern Vermont, is sometimes called the Lake Lucerne of New England. It looks cold and uninviting in the winter, except to ice climbers bent on climbing up Mount Pisgah which towers over the lake. But things look so different in summer. The Lake and its environs are really beautiful and inviting. South Beach is the most popular area for bathing and other recreation. It also has a secluded nude bathing beach out of site of the road. What does it look like in summer? Well here is a 360 degree aerial panorama taken at the end of July 2017. Click on the picture to see the panorama or click here. You can also see a short video taken on the same day here.
