I found an exciting project, so I'd like to take a break from technical camera tricks and try something fun outside, since it is not raining. First, google image search the term
"stereographic projection". Basically, you can turn a standard panorama into a tiny planet! Check out the example below, from Jose in 7th:
Basically, we take a 360 degree panorama and complete the stretching effect in Photoshop. This can be done in as little as 6 images. We have to pay attention to placement of the horizon line and our subject. Remember you have to overlap your photos by a significant amount when shooting the stills for your panorama. Also, consider the top and bottom of your image. See below for placement tips:
When you get your 360 shot, come back and run it into a panorama in Photoshop. In case you forgot, you click
file--> Automate--> Photomerge.
