Sony NEX Fisheye Sweep Panoramas

Fotosky came up with a new Sweep Panorama method for the Sony NEX cameras which gives the final image a fisheye effect. This is accomplished by swinging the NEX in an arc. The camera motion is somewhat like a pendulum. This takes some practice. Fisheye 3D Sweep Panoramas should also be possible. We would love to see some of your samples - email us.

Dennis Biela sent us an email to share their Last Shuttle Project which uses the Sony NEX-5 in a 3D configuration. The Last Shuttle Project intends to show the an exclusive perspective on the final mission of NASA's Space Shuttle program.

The NEX 3D rig positions the two NEX-5 to provide a stereoscopic view for photos and videos. Two Nikkor 20mm f/4 AI Lens using Nikon F to E-mount lens adapters. A special IR transmitter was created by Bob Fisher the "Widget Guy" to trigger the cameras simultaneously. Below is a sample image from the NEX 3D Rig.

We received an email from J.E. "Elendito" showing us the Loreo 3D Macro Lens in a Cap in action with the Sony NEX-5. You can see how well it does 3D in photo and video mode.

Here was our previous post on the Loreo 3D Lens Model 9005 used on the NEX.

Sample photos from NEX and the Loreo 3D Macro Lens Cap.

On another note, we love how YouTube supports 3D Videos.
