Brand new Street View Photographer

[呵護玫瑰的獅子]

Hello,

Just receive my Street View Photographer badge less than one hour ago.  I am very happy, and would like to share my joy with you.  

It was a tough job for me.  I used only my mobile phone, so I need to spend at least 1 minute and take at least 41 photos for just one 360 photo.  In the end, it pays off.

Hi @呵護玫瑰的獅子,

Congratulations!

But 41 shots to form a photosphere seems on the high side.  Which Camera app do you use to take the Photospheres?

@ShafiulB and @YK1001

Since I am not sure about the technical developments of the existing 360 cameras, and they also are still very expensive to me.  I do not want to invest in one of the cameras.  I used only my smartphone with Google Camera app.  To take a 360 photo, you will need to spend about one minute, and take 41 photos according to the instructions from the app.  The app will then combine the 41 photos to a 360 sphere photo.  I hope this answer will satisfy you.

Hi @呵護玫瑰的獅子,

Using my phone, holding the phone in landscape position require 3 less shots for 1 photo sphere.

Please try if it applies to your mobile or not.
