The Big Machine - planet effect

[Jermz_01]

I believe this is the "planet" effect... or polar planet.. or something like that...

I about killed my computer making this stupid thing... since it's a panorama I did over Christmas... it wasn't pretty to make... but... I like the finished result, at least for a "first attempt"...

I love stereographic projections - I never get tired of looking at them :mrgreen:

I was hoping the "night shot" would really add to the unique feel of this style of shot... I like it... but then again, I made it... so... hahahaha

thanks!

Cool thing to look at!
I wonder what it is in the end that forms the "inside" of your "planet"? I see all the nicely lit plants on the "surface", but what of your photo came to form the "ball"?

Judging by the reflection I'd take a guess it is water. Great job mate, a very cool idea and well executed. Did you get your photos to connect like this manualy in photoshop? No panorama making software I know is capable of doing such things.

reflection is water (aka, the center of the ball)

I used CS3 to make this...
