Basilica of the Sacred Heart Photosphere Photo

This picture of the inside of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart was taken on the University of Notre Dame Campus near South Bend, Indiana.  The photo is actually a panoramic view taken as a Photosphere on the new Nexus 7 tablet.  Photosphere photography is something new in the photography business as it attempts to take a half sphere (dome) of the subject matter in question.  It is like looking at a World Map of the Earth on a flat surface.  One cannot take a photosphere without certain camera and software requirements.  One cannot also view the complete photosphere without these same requirements from the viewing media.  This particular photosphere was uploaded to dropbox, which as of today does not have the capability of viewing photospheres as a photosphere.  If one looks at the exact center of the photo, the photosphere symbol is visible.  The only reason I posted this shot was to show my readers a unique perspective of the photosphere photos.
