I'm Ed Fink, and these are my 360 degree panoramas. I was the first VR photographer in the world to do fullscreen 360 degree panoramas from a helicopter. Today I'm a FAA licensed drone pilot and shoot most of my aerials with a quadcopter.
I'm also a Google Street View Trusted Photographer in Minneapolis shooting Street View tours inside local businesses.
I publish thousands of 360 degree panoramas and virtual tours to Google Maps, where I currently have over 60 MILLION VIEWS.
Take a look below at some of my Google tours, or go to my Google Street View page for more information and many samples.

360 degree panorama of 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. :)
