Bay Area VR

www.BayAreaVR.com

I'm a 37 year old husband and father of two (foremost).  I have lived in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area for most of my life.  My home is in Pacifica, which is two cities south of San Francisco on the coast.  

My first pano was on a nikon 950 and Kaidan pano head using VR works about 9 years ago.   I had a long interval where I did not produce any panoramas.  I eventually thought I'd get back into the field - and I first started with a 0-360 one shot lens. Soon I upgraded to a more updated pano head from Kaidan for cylindrical panoramas. 

And then, everything changed.  A friend of mine sent me a full screen panorama made with HDR techniques.  I was floored.  I realized that there was something big going on - and I wanted to be a part of it. 

I started researching sites, and living in on-line forums, to discover what I needed to do to create such images.  In my journey, I have gone from wanting do to this hobby/profession for money to wanting to increase my skills for the love of the art that is panoramic photography. 

I will keep learning and experimenting so I can leave my tours for others to see for years to come.

Timothy Oldfield ~ Washington State 360

Hello, my name is Timothy Oldfield, a virtual tour photographer (actually, the ONLY 360° photographer) with Washington State 360.  ;)

The Washington State 360 Project is my way of assisting with the "warm introduction" to various locations around the state of Washington in these United States of America.

Most of the 360-degree (fully-spherical) panoramas I capture or create are now being posted here on "360cities.net", and many are also being shared on Google Street View and Google Maps through my Trusted Photographer account, and Local Guide account (for posting of snapshots, often voluntarily, to assist small businesses and non-profits with editing and otherwise delineating their Maps listings). If you have a VR headset, Google Cardboard viewer, or other stereo viewer, click on the tiny cardbord goggles icon and enjoy another level of experience.  ;)

Studies have shown that VR Tours (sets of Virtual Reality panoramas) can boost visitor-count dramatically.  Once virtually in-the-door, your location becomes more engagingly "familiar", which allows most virtual visitors to more easily drop residual resistance, and perhap raise their curiosity, thereby increasing the likelihood of visiting for real.  Which in turn allows them to promote your establishment to acquaintences.

While building these collections of 360-degree panoramas, I also enjoy keeping the locations and subjects diverse.  Sometimes it is fun to allow a viewer to experience a perspective not generally open to the public (for safety, insurability, security or other reasons), such as venturing into a production area or out onto a condemned bridge, etcetera.  What would you like to share from a unique perspective?
