Making Yor Own Little Planets

In my constant search for photoshop projects to keep me amused, I came across a tutorial for making little planets or as they are also called, polar panoramas.

They are fun and quite easy to make!

Here are a couple of my first attempts......



Planet Vancouver



Planet Nanaimo

I posted the directions from the tutorial in the gallery. They are super easy to follow! (naturally, if I can do it!)

Thanks! I like how the 2nd one makes my hometown of Nanaimo (population 86,000) look like some kind of metropolisrofl!

You can see the 4 tallest buildings in the downtown. Yes, all 4 of them!
