          Panoramas.dk is Virtual reality VR panoramas from all the world made by some of the best 360 VR Photographers in the world. Panoramas.dk is created by Hans Nyberg a commercial photographer in Denmark. Panoramas.dk was started in 2002 with the intention to make immersive panoramic images also called VR Photography more known among the general public.

           Interactive panoramas is a young media and as such it has for many years been known among enthusiastic photographers and multimedia creators. An interactive VR panorama can not be seen in a book or on a printed image. If you print the panorama it gets a completely different expression.

          You can only experience the feeling of being at the place and look around, on a computer. You can only distribute Vr Panoramas by the Internet or on CD. No other media can give you the feeling of being at the place like VR photos. And the ultimate feeling comes when you view it in Fullscreen.

Learn How to Light.

         This website is about one thing: Learning how to use off-camera flash with your DSLR to take your photos to the next level. Or the next ten levels.

          If you are a complete beginner at lighting, no worries. The Lighting 101 course starts from the very beginning, and can get you up and running fast. (And if you have never shot with your flash off of your camera, get ready to have some fun.)

         You probably already have most of what you need to start creating kickass photos with your own small flash, and all of the information on this site is free. If you want to grow into more powerful lighting equipment later, fine. It talk about the big lights, too. But your small flashes are the perfect starting point -- small, simple and cheap.Already familiar with small-flash lighting gear and techniques? It also have an On Assignment series, where you'll be guided through dozens of real-world assignments, showing exactly how they were lit.

        And since lighting is not a destination but rather a journey, bookmark Strobist's front page for a regular dose of the latest lighting gear and techniques -- and the occasional silliness.

        One thing you won't find are "studio lighting tips." Lighting is not about working in a studio -- it is about being able to use your flashes anywhere. The world is your studio.

         There are over a thousand articles on lighting on this site, and many of them are indexed here. So have a look around if you like.
