Planet Keswick - Take two

Having shot a panorama of a deserted Keswick a few days ago, I added a "planet Keswick" as an extra, but there were a few issues with the bottom of the image, as I'd allowed the top of one of the buildings to extend beyond the extremities of the frame, which meant when I applied the polar coordinate filter, the top of the building stretched and gave the wrong effect. 

For peace of mind - it had to be re-done; so today, I went back into town, selected my position for the 360 degree panorama more carefully, and ensured I had plenty of sky at the top of the frame.

For those who want to know how these are done, a brief summary follows:

1. Shoot a series of overlapping frames (I overlap by about 50%) in a complete 360 degree panorama.
2 Join them together (lightroom is easiest, but Photoshop isn't much harder.
3 crop the image so each end of the image would join to make a perfect circle.
4. Rotate the image by 180 degrees (turns the image upside down)
5. re-size the image (image size) and make the length of the long edge the same as the short edge (there is a little link icon between the two dimensions, by disconnecting the link, you'll be able to change one dimension without changing the other. That should give you a very squashed square image
6. Apply Filter>distort>polar coordinates (rectangular to polar)

That's all!

Have fun
