I like making this! Another kind of panorama, the panorama planet at 360 degrees! Fun to do. This one has been done in the small village of Saint-Lizier again, in France, Midi-Pyrenees. You can see the cathedral, the Prince-Bishop's Palace (the big one on the right with the towers), the village itself and part of the Pyrenees mountains.
Basically, to have this small world in one single picture, I have done a 360 degrees panorama with 12 photos which I merged together with a software, made the final image a square (e.g. 3000x3000px, don't bother keeping the aspect ratio then, the picture will be highly distorted), gave it a 180° rotation and applied a Polar Coordinates distortion filter. And voilà!
I noticed one small issue though. The little green place right in the middle of the planet (where you can see the bench) is distorted/warped on the lower side. This is right where I was standing with the tripod which means that if you are too close to an object (in this case the small surrounding) wall, it will be heavily distorted and everything around (and close enough) will be like... sucked in!
Fundamentally not really an issue but I prefer the center to be clearly round
Any question, feel free to ask, I'll be glad to answer you!
Enjoy!
