Thought i would ask the experts, is it possible to create images similar to this one with as little pshop editing as possible. i.e. just using different lens etc. any info wouls be appreciated.

youre defiantly going to need photoshop. the only thing that using a fish eye lens will help, is getting the look this extreme. without the fisheye this person wouldnt have been able to get the ground to meet at the center.

theres other ways you could get it this extreme without a special lens but they would be more difficult.

no, a fisheye will probably make it harder because of the distortion in it. just need a dickton of photos to put together and process.

Thanks, Thought that would be the case. Realised after a closer look that a lot was done in photoshop because there are no shadows for the photographer or tripod etc.

Oh and thanks in advance if anyone could recomend a decent fisheye lens for a D100. im a bit new to photography and just have standard gear at the moment

take all the fisheye shots really close together. make them all overlap alot. then crop most of each side off of each one. then you woulds still get the wide lateral angle, but stitching the sides together would be just as easy as normal

everything in the frame of one of those has weird distortions. if you put a lot of them close together, you will get a lot of wavey distortion. the guy who does these used a point and shoot and just took around 70 photos.

any good stick program will bend the photo if it doesnt match up. plus, im not talking about dozens of individual sliced, just crop them enough to where youve got about the same angle as a regular stitch.

may i ask the sauce of this awesome picture?

and this also made me think, i reckon a panaramic could be turned into the easily, but you would require a 3d program for the method i was thinking of.

not to mention a dam high res camera output

cher threinen-pendarvis did something like this in her painter x book where she stitched the pics together as a panorama first then turned that into a pattern that she painted along a circular path with the stroke command; i bet you could do something fairly similar in pshop

1. Mount a fisheye lens.
2. Set a self-timer to 2 sec.
3. Toss your camera as high as you can =)

Don't listen to him - this doesn't work.

What you really want to do is tape 15 model rockets together and strap your camera to that.

looks like he got someone leaning over a railing or something to take the picture for him. or set it up on timer and taped it to a stick which was attached to his roof or something

1. take 360 panorama shot (or just use any landscape with a clean sky if you're lazy)
2. open photoshop
3. resize to a square (don't constrain porportions)
4. flip vertically
5. filter>distort>polar coordinates
6. ???
7. profit

I gave it a shot the quick and nasty way - I didn't capture nearly enough sky and ground in these shots though

looks like a ridiculously spanned-out wide angle with the sky clipped out and placed on another sky to simulate the small world atmosphere. It's neat, but feels like plastic to me.

This is nice, but your lens is really restricting you. Do you see where the things that should be straight, aren't straight? That's called distortion. My advice: get some L glass.

I agree, throw more money at the problem, it will definitely improve your pictures in ways not spending money ever could.

Or you could use photoshop and correct the distortion before stitching the pictures together.
