I'm a WebDesigner - can I deal on behalf of my clients ?

• Of course - almost 50% of our trade is with the web design industry. Significant savings on our 'headline rate' of £99 can be negotiated and we deal directly with you, never your client.

What is a Panoramic image?

• Utopia produce panoramas that offer you a complete field of view, from earth to sky, floor to ceiling, and horizon to horizon. These images are technically known as "spherical panoramas" since they are composed of two opposing fisheye (8mm) images. 
• These panoramas are full-environment, 360° X 360° photographs viewable in any web-browser. Utopia can produce a variety of multimedia functions such as automatic navigation, zooming, playing background music, and linking to text, audio, standard photographs, URLs, video, and other images.

How are Utopia Panoramas produced ?

• Our professional equipment includes a tripod, fisheye lens, special precision rotator and the latest high definition Nikon digital camera. We usually arrive on location with a complete duplicate kit as well, in case of accident. 
  Camera placement and orientation for panoramas is as much an art as a science. Approximately similar light levels for the back-to-back shots are carefully calculated and the position of the join, or 'seam' between the image pair is judged based upon background detail and the potential for movement across this seam. 
• Utopia always take a series of bracketed exposures for each panorama. Images are carefully layered in Photoshop to bring out the vibrancy of the image, produce detail in areas of deep shade, and to reduce the harsh glare from windows, for example. 

How large is a Panorama ?

• Typically we produce images within the range 80 - 180 kbytes depending on the resolution required.

Do I need a Plug-In to view your panoramas ?

• All our panoramic images may be viewed without the need for a browser plug-in. We provide the java viewer files together with simple instructions so that your webmaster can include these images on your website easily and quickly.
