360-degree photos being added to the galleries!

Huzzah! I just learned that the photo album software I use, JAlbum, supports 360-degree photos. I should really read the fine manual someday…

I can share all the 360-degree photos I have been taking in my albums. The first test was a set of images taken at Atlas9 in Kansas City, KS:

They even view on a phone just fine. In the past, the only place I shared them was in Facebook groups, and lots of folks do not use Facebook.

My history with 360…

As I repeat endlessly here, I got my first digital camera in 1996. Less than ten years later (2005), I was experimenting with “one shot” 360 panorama photos. I write a bit about my camera history on my Cameras page.

I doubt that modern 360 viewers will support those ancient SurroundPhoto images I took at Disneyland during its 50th Anniversary in 2005, but I am going to test. If they work, that will be the first time I have ever been able to share those ancient, low resolution 360-degree (horizontally, at least) images.

I don’t think I took a “real” 360-degree camera to any theme parks until 2016 (Iowa’s Adventureland). The first time I took one to Disneyland was 2017. Assuming the album software supports whatever size these older “modern” images are, I hope to get those shared as well.

Fun times.
