How to Create Little Planets

LITTLE PLANETSPhotos by Sherry Sine and Kerry Dawson

• Choose a subject

• Take a 360 degree panoramic

• Take vertical photos to ensure you have enough sky and foreground in the shot

• Ensure you overlap your images

• If taking photos at sunrise or sunset be quick so that sky from beginning to end is similar in colour

• Use your imagination, not all planets have to look like earth

• You can actually use this on a single photo instead of a panorama if both edges have similar content. ie: shrub

• Open photoshop

• For the sky to be on the outside of the planet, rotate your photo 180 degrees so sky is at the bottom of the photo

• The panorama now needs to be square

• Go to image size, and unclick constrain proportions

• Then resize the image so that it has the same width and length

Get Creative• Use unusual settings

• Use different subjects

• Use funky lighting

• Play with the backgrounds

• The sky is the limit....use your imagination
