testing a fisheye, Sigma 8 mm. and 5D MarkII

Yesterday I found time for take several panos.

Canon 5D markII
Sigma 8 mm.
Nodal Ninja 5
Solid manfrotto tripod with a 501 head


It took about 15 minutes calibrate the NPP, surely is possible to calibrate more accuracely.
The two test have 3 photos covering the azimuth and the mainly part of ground.
I took the first test in a narrow toilet room, 1.5 meters wide.
The results are passable for me altough there are some artefacts on the toilet bowl when APG finish the pano.
The next test is another narrow space it was my car. I was pleasantly surprised with the pano, only minimal error in one seam on the roof
These are the good news, the bad news I was unable to use the nadiral shots for to complete the panos.

I would like to be helped with the nadiral shots.

With a fish eye lens the nadiral photos are much critical to stitch because minimal moves in the position of camera changes too much the geometry of the scene, right?.

I have read about the impossibility for APG to merge fish eye photos and another lens. Do you know some truc for to complete the ground with fish eye or another kind of lens?

Because it was funny and quickly I executed several panos the last one was made in a little town and probably you may to guess where it is.

Guachinver you can fix your nadir (and zenith) in postprocessing. What OS and image postprocessing software do you use?

Sorry Drslony I had done a mistake on my message I had corrected several "zenithal" for nadiral, my true problem.
I dont understand well the postprocesing software, I use Photoshop, occasionally, for some retouch. May I to fill the tripod and head with images of the ground?. How please?.

You will need to ask someone who uses Photoshop to recommend a resynthesizing tool. Yes you can use normal images to fill the gap, if you have them. You will need a tool to extract the nadir and zenith from your pano... once more, ask a Photoshop user :]

Off topic!
Can you tell me what is the exact full size "usable resolution" after cropping the circle on 5Dmk2?

Re: testing a fisheye, Sigma 8 mm. and 5D MarkII

Digipano I hope that the next data will be enough for your request.

Image size from one image 5616 x 3744  about 21 Megapixel
Image size  DIAMETER 3000 about 7 Megapixel
Final size for a 360 pano about 8000 x 4000 more or less.

For the test I use 4 degres, on the Ninja head, over the horizontal so the zenith is covered with the 3 shots, of course I lost some ground but it is mainly tripod head.
You can obtain a good idea of vigneting with the first image and the second image explain the usability of the border of image, real size.
