Have you ever been in a place that is so interesting that you wished you could photograph the whole thing?

Did you know you can make a picture that surrounds you completely? It's called a spherical panorama, and you can see it in more and more websites every day. You only need to have Quicktime installed, or better yet, a plugin called DevalVR.

The problem is that you get the sense that you need pretty hefty equipment to even get started. Not anymore! In this article, I spill the beans on how to use a point and shoot camera (maybe even the one in your cell phone) to make these gorgeous panoramas and send them to friends and family.
