Top 7 sites to share your panorama images

Posted on 09. Apr, 2008 by miguel in technology

Obviously, traditional photography has conquered the Internet and sites like Flickr or Picasa Web Albums are known by everybody. But what about other specific formats? Panorama images are one of the most awesomest. A few years ago, uploading this kind of (huge size) photos to a website was almost a sin. But today with a better global bandwidth and widescreen monitors, is pure fun.

There are also tons of software solutions to create your panoramas and a growing market of cool 360º cameras to get your shots. Once you get your panoramic photos, you can share them on the following sites:

1. Gigapan .
   As they say “GigaPan allows users to upload, share, and explore brilliant gigapixel+ panoramas from around the globe”. Also available on Google Earth .
