360° VR – Williamson’s Tunnels

Williamson’s Tunnels

I become fascinated with 360°, Virtual Reality Equirectangular Images. So started to dabble with the process of creating these amazing 360° VR Panoramas myself.

The following 360° images were created using multiple Hi-Res images from either the Nikon D800 or D850 fitted with a Nikon Nikkor 8-15mm Fisheye lens and a Manfrotto 055 Pro tripod fitted with MH057A5 3D head + L Bracket.

Banqueting Hall

This is a view inside the Banqueting Hall, with the main chamber at one end, the trench visible and the Gash slopping down into the trench.

This view is taken from within the trench, looking up the Gash at one end, then around to show the Rock Cut arch cut into the wall of the Banqueting Hall. This we think will lead us into the Great Tunnel in the future.
