Beginnings - A World Wide Panorama
19-23 March 2008
In the days surrounding the March 2008 equinox, photographers around the world will participate in another World Wide Panorama.
The previous seventeen events have created a showcase of VR photography, with over 4000 panoramas by almost 900 photographers from more than 70 countries. The World Wide Panorama represents everyone in the VR community, from first-timers to professional photographers.
Please join us for both the next World Wide Panorama event!
The World Wide Panorama is sponsored by the Geography Computing Facility at the University of California Berkeley. This site is hosted by The Geo-Images Project. This is a non-commercial project, done simply to create enthusiasm for VR photography, and provide an outlet for our collective creativity.
All images will be copyright by the individual photographers. Use in any way other than viewing on this web site is prohibited unless permission is obtained from the relevant photographer. The overall site is copyright by the Regents of the University of California.
