360 planet like this!!! I don't know what you call it. I know they use a fisheye lens for it. Thats all I know.

Wow, no idea. . .sorry not much help, but cool pics none the less.

Looks to me like they either shoot straight down with a craaaaaazy fisheye lens, or more likely, they shoot up at a mirrored ball and photoshop out the camera after (look at the second one where there is a darker circle patch in the middle.

They are called 'magic circles' and are made using the Polar Coordinate filter in Photoshop or an other image editor.
