First of all, you are going to have to invest some money in these items:

1. Fisheye Lens – I recommend the 180 ° model, which creates a circular image. I have the Sigma Fisheye 8mm f/3.5 EX DG Circular Fisheye Autofocus Lens for Nikon AF for $899.00
2. Nodal Panoramic Head – link available on B&H. Expect to pay about $500
3. Panorama Image Stitching Software – I use Panoweaver 9, which runs for $299.00
4. Good tripod to put a panoramic head on
5. Release cable – I use an infrared remote with my Nikon D750
6. Adobe Photoshop – While you can use the panoramic feature to adjust the floor, you can also remove the logo if you don’t want it there. $600

Click on it to see the larger version. Here is my camera, equipped with my nodal panoramic head, on a tripod.

  

Here is a side view 

 

Now the other side 

 

You will take four photos and then stitch them together with the software. Next, I create a Cubic Panorama, the six sides of a cube.

Use a remote to keep the camera very still.

 

I then export that image to Photoshop. Using Photoshop, I will remove the tripod, as seen in this photograph. 

 

To get rid of the tripod [why I use PhotoShop], I go to the filter and select vanishing point.

 

Next, I select the cloning tool, hold the option key, and select the area I want to clone from to fill over the tripod. 

 

Because I chose the vanishing point, the cloning will preserve all the dots in perspective, making for easy patching. Great for floors where tiles and other patterns are not always square but more often slightly askew.

Now, I am using the more expensive Panoweaver to create something that works on mobile devices, such as the iPad and iPhone. There are two versions created; one is flash-based and has the little planet view that you see at the top and below. I have you fly down into the panoramic view, creating a video-like feel to the panorama.

Now, if that were all there is to this, it would be super easy. However, after doing this for about ten years, I have found that the knowledge of stitching helps you pick better locations. For that reason, if you enjoy them and would like me to create them for your workplace or another purpose, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
