Inspired by Flickr's Seb Prydz i decided to have a go at a little planet panorama. It doesnt really bear close inspection but im quite pleased for a first go. I opted for the (relatively) non technical route - a 9 shot 360 panorama merged with autostitich (free) then a simple polar distort in photoshop (like this www.3drender.com/light/PolarPan/index.htm ) .I filled in the hole in the middle with a spherized grass shot (didnt completely work) and tidied it up a bit with the clone tool and spot healer in photoshop.
Theres another technique that involves creating a rectangulinear (?) projection (using Hugin and pano tools) then doing some funny twisty maths with it - way beyond me at this point. Check out Seb Prydz to see how it should be done.
I had to do it relatively low res because my computer couldnt handle it at full-whack. Would be alot easier if id used a tripod.
This was taken at the Secret Garden festival in Cambridgeshire 19th August 2006. www.secretgardenparty.com/
