This is Ben from Life in 360 coming at you from Marina del Rey California and I
have one tiny planet tip for you that will lead you to creating instantly
better planets every time you go out shooting and the tip is to do with live
view. All cameras have a live view function and you can normally view your
photo as a 360 however the vast majority of the time when I've been shooting tiny
planets in the past I've been guessing so when I had my theta s and I was
taking lots and lots of photos I wasn't actually able to preview the tiny planet
before I downloaded to my phone which meant a much longer workflow and
essentially guessing until I get to the point that I'm ready to download my
photos and videos so one cool innovation that's been added to a lot of
cameras apps is the ability to view your tiny planets before you actually shoot
them so I'm shooting with the Insta360 One right now and here you
can see I have a view of a 360 and you can pan around it it's very cool but
I'm shooting a tiny planet and I want to know I've got the perfect tiny planet
before actually pressing the button therefore I'm going to get less bad
planets and I can get straight to the good ones so it's really just as simple
as doing this doing your edit like that as a planet or you can do an inverted
planet like that so you can then fine-tune your
adjustments so I'm seeing this here and I'm not liking it really at all because
this walkway's a bit boring so now I can see this is going to be my potential
Instagram post already so I need it to be more dynamic therefore I'm going to
move over to the water put my phone over the edge hopefully not drop it is just
my luck! But no now I'm seeing a bit of seam line issue here with my camera and
that's not good but you know what? Now I know that before I actually take the
photo I don't have to go home and discover later on that I've taken a bad
photo I'm going to know right now so now I can make the adjustments so I can move
my phone yeah there we go the seam line is much better here
and let's see how it is as a tiny planet look that's already working better so
I'm able to preview my planet I still have not taken a photo or video yet and
it takes some video now but now I know that I've found probably one of the best
places in this location to shoot my tiny planet and now I fine tune the
adjustments even more so maybe I want to go along here a bit maybe let's try
walking in this direction let's try the other side
I could try putting my phone on this angle so you can see that actually
creates a massively different effect so now I have so many more creative choices
at my disposal and I mightn't have even thought of the shot I just took then if
I hadn't have had this live tiny planet preview so you can get this with the
Insta360 One you can get it with the Theta V you can get it with the Xiaomi they
all have live view tiny planets and it's just a really handy way of getting to
the good shots faster instead of taking all those bad shots and guessing and
hoping one turned out, like I said I have been operating like that for a long time
often I'll go to a location or shoot 20 or 30 photos I might try a few
different setups but still sometimes there might not be that winning photo
there and I want to know i've got the winning photo before I leave the
location and this is an excellent way to do it that will save you a lot of time
and frustration so if you are into tiny planets you will definitely want to
