Planet Pittencrieff House

Getting back into the swing of things this year after a bit of a break due to weather and other issues..

Took my trusty Pentax K100D, with Sigma 10-20mm, and Nodal Ninja 3 tripod head on my tripop.

A few shots, and some stitching later:

Thanks for the replies!
Basically I'm taking a 360x180 degree panorama, and converting it to stereographic (i.e. spherical projection onto a plane)
This tutorial should explain it better:

heh, that's great ... the grass really helps the whole 'planet' feel to it. Superb

I like that! It's refreshing to see something like this rather than the normal robins and blue tits.

Excellent work indeed...

Kinda reminds me of the gas adverts too.

Youv`e done that really well though.

Spot on...

Seen these before, and some have been badly done, your's looks nice.

Might give it a try.

Cheers.
