Photospheres III -- Let's put it on the Map…
This Thread, it was too long for one submission. I will be posting this thread in sections (Part III-a, Part III-b, etc…) as Replies to this Thread, there are numerous photos that are included, so hold onto your hats and let's get ready for this…
This is the final chapter of "Am I the Only One Who Knows This--Photospheres…" Well, as it turns out, many folks knew this, but in many cases, their methods were not necessarily the easiest way to create and publish Photospheres.

Now, if your "DJI Super Mavic 1000 Pro Sport" can shoot overhead and even under water then Great… Be Cool, go ahead and shoot overhead, but don't "shoot" me, the messenger, I only own a Mini 2…
