The serenely coloured waters of the River Danube create a mercurial metallic effect when transformed into this planetoid. The centrepiece of this slightly eerie planetoid is a glowing shopping trolley. The panorama that makes up this planetoid was shot at Azad Maidan in southern Mumbai, and shows the city’s characteristic skyline and scorched midsummer hues. This charmingly colourful planetoid is composed of photographs of a reservoir in Brookline, Massachusetts in USA.
The dynamism of the rollercoaster and tunnelling cloud formations offer a sense of vertigo to this composite image. This striking image is a stereographic projected version of an original panoramic composite photograph, which was captured through a fisheye lens. The atmospheric orange and blue lighting is complimented by compositional touches including the crane and television aerials at the planetoid‚Äôs poles. This image is constructed from 32 photographs of Parisian rooftops near the Sacr√©-C≈ìur Basilica. Planet Chez Patrice in Paris France at Sunsetīoltron is a prolific planetoid producer, making many beautiful cityscape spheres. There are many tutorials available on the Internet explaining how you can begin building your own universe of planetoid photographs. This process produces the awesome artworks listed below, astonishing images made from everyday scenes. The image is then stereographically projected into a spherical form.
Panoramic stitching software such as PTGui may be used for this process. Generally, a 360-degree panoramic image is created from a number of photos stitched and blended together, resulting in an image that presents everything visible from a single viewpoint in space. The planetoids in this post take the process much further. A simple planetoid can be constructed from a landscape photograph, transformed with some fairly simple steps in Photoshop, adjusting image dimensions and using the Polar Coordinates filter.
Planetoid photography turns panoramic images into beguiling spherical scenes, pictures that at first glance appear to be tiny planets floating in space.
