Best Tiny Planet I've Made

[Jar]

I posted a still photograph a few days ago, of this lake. But I wanted to share this perspective as well. This is Lake Watauga in Eastern Tennessee.

42 shots still stitched together with Autopano Giga. I had Litchi take the shots

Can you get me more details on how you did this, please?

You are looking at a 360 panorama that has been wrapped around a sphere. The point directly below the drone is the center of the tiny planet, and the horizon forms the outer rim. Think of your pano as a half sphere and pop it inside out - voila, tiny planet.

This is done in Photoshop using the polar coordinates filter. I used hanger on my Mavic to get the pano, but you can do it manually and have Microsoft Ice (or Photoshop) stitch it into a pano.
