After the conservatory, I moved my setup into the kitchen to take a virtual tour in there. In the photo in the last entry, you can see the kitchen area underneath the arches in the left-hand side. To properly expose the inside of the house, I had to increase the exposure enough to wash out the conservatory. To combat this, I took two exposures in each position, stitched them both seperately, and blended the equirectangular panoramas. I was able to figure out a way to stitch two identical (or near identical) panoramas with two different sets of photos. According to theory, the two sets of photos are of the same place taken at the same time without the camera moving, but without Hugin stitching both exactly the same, trying to blend the two exposures would be impossible. Here is my final result:

Here is another shot from my interior shoot on Saturday. The large area of countertop in the bottom left-hand corner will be a good spot to put a logo or other information for an advertisement. As with the last shot, I had to correct perspective and distortion in photoshop to keep the lines straight and level.

Today, I attempted to photograph a kitchen. The first thing I found out is that 28mm (equivalent) is not very wide at all and I had problems fitting everything in. The second thing I found out I noticed on my computer a little bit ago. The barrel distortion on my wide angle lens reaks havoc with the walls and cabinets. With some perspective and distortion correction in Photoshop, the end result is not bad, at least for a first attempt.
