360 Sphere pano....

[jpbroomfield]

Just wondering if any of you guys have problems when taking a 360 pano with over exposure above the horizon line ? Camera settings are on auto.
Also blurring on the image once stitched together.

Just wondering how to over come it, or if anyone else had the same issue.

Cheers

Sounds like the auto-exposure is locking in on some darker areas (ground) of the photo. Sky is typically blown out.

I don't know if it's possible, but you could try shooting HDR (high dynamic range) and get at least 3 different exposures for each image. Be sure the file format is set to RAW (DNG) for best results and flexibility in post. Combine those images in post to get the balanced exposure for each section of th photo. Take the processed images and stich those.

I've never seen the blurring before. Stitching is just that. It shouldn't throw focus out of whack.
