RE: 360 degree photography

That is cool.
I've been flying some photoscenery in these areas in FSX.
This Utah site goes really well with that.
Amazing country, and colors.
Thank you!

There are all sorts of ways to shoot pano... from a "cheapie" camera to expensive equipment. Most involve taking multiple shots as the camera rotates and then using software to "stitch" them together. There are also a few specialized pano lenses that can do it in a single shot (basically an 'inside-out' version of those mirrored garden globes). To publish/view shots like the Utah ones on the web usually takes a plug-in to display it on a web page.

Here's what the photographer above says:

One common set up has been ipix:
