I'm Ed Fink, and these are my 360 degree panoramas. I believe I'm the first VR photographer in the world to do high resolution spherical panoramas from a helicopter. 
The 360 degree aerials are such a blast they're my main focus now, although I still shoot lots of ground-level VR, like crowd panoramas, building interior/exteriors, and even cars.
I loved making these panoramas, and I hope you enjoy looking at them.
If you think your business can use an aerial or ground level panorama, email me at or call me at 651-483-1557.
NEW!!! I'm in the process of converting from QuickTime to Flash Panorama Player. So far only a few virtual tours have been fully converted to the new Flash interface. Take a look at the new interface, it offers features far beyond those available in QuickTime!

My very active grandson in his room. The quality of this panorama sucks and would have been trashed except for my cute grandson.
This was the first panorama where I shot a separate "nadir" (down) shot instead of leaving a hole. I knew I couldn't keep shooting winter panoramas and cloning snow over the bottom forever. :)
