360 Degree Spherical Panoramas: The Kingdom of the Netherlands
Spherical panoramas display both interior and exterior places incredibly. I have traveled to a place or two in the world and have always enjoyed taking my camera along to produce spherical panoramas. This type of photography requires a mid to high-level quality camera to capture as much detail as possible.
Just recently my wife and I visited the Netherlands and traveled to places of all kinds, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague, some of the major cities located in Holland. Since we visited these places during the day, lighting conditions were not the best at time to shoot a spherical panorama. However, architecture of all kinds made up for the quality of light at times.
The Netherlands is located in Western Europe and counts about 16 million inhabitants. This country is bordered by Germany to the east, Belgium to the south and the North Sea to both the west and the north. Traveling across the entire territory from west to east, or from north to south takes less than 3 hours by car.
During our say, which lasted about 2 weeks, I visited the Oude Kerk (located in Delft), or Old Church in English, one morning for the purpose of shooting spherical panoramas. This Church is also nicknames Oude Jan or Old John in English and features a tower that is about 75 meters high. Interestingly, the tower also leans about 2 meters from the absolute vertical of the structure.
The city of Delft is located in the province of Zuid Holland or South Holland in English, the Netherlands. Considered an attraction to many tourists around the world, Delft is known for its typical Dutch town center and canals. Delft also is or was home to Dutch painter Vermeer, Delftware or Delft Blue pottery and the Technische Universiteit van Delft, or University of Delft in English.
My wife also visited other places in the Netherlands for the purpose of shooting spherical panoramas as well as to enjoy the sights as "normal" tourists. The cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague also have lots to offer to those traveling through and visiting this beautiful and remarkable country in Europe.
