@Mallikka: Yes, I imagine this would be quite different in the monsoon. Even when we were there we had to move quickly to avoid rains and the streets quickly filled with water.

@Puru: Yes, you need to get a fisheye lens (i.e., 8mm) and stand in one spot and take 4 photos at 90-degree angles. Then we use software – Autopano Giga and PanoTour – to stitch the images together and make the “tour” you see above.

Very interesting! How did you create this ?? What I understand, I need to stand at one place and take pics at 360 degrees ?

I wonder what will be the reaction to the markets during monsoon – quite messy they become. 🙂

Udaipur is the best market in all India in my own opinion! It is quite the experience walking there!

@Sherry: Markets do indeed provide lessons in humanity as you’ve alluded to. As for the panoramas, we take a series of images with an ultra-wide angle fisheye lens and stitch them together with some software called Autopano Giga. Nice to see you here. Enjoy your RTW trip planning. Any questions, let us know. We have a little experience with that.

@Kiran: Glad you liked it. I could play around all day at that market in Udaipur. Pretty incredible place.

Wow. I don’t know how you do that, but no doubt the panorama is addictive. I could play around with it all day and not get bored.

Love your panorama shot of the market. How do you do that? It’s sooooo cool! I love markets too, it’s always the first place to go, not only to get a little food to have at “home” but to visit and observe. I’m always impressed at how happy some people are, not matter their circumstances, and how grumpy some are, not matter how much money…..I just ran across your FB page and this website. I’ll be back. I’m heading out in May for a RTW trip myself, and reading up on how others do it is great fun.
