Surface Panoramas - Photography Contest [14 entries]

Lilliput Lane Picture

Winning entry, with a score of:
62.2%
Contest goal:

In this contest, like the panorama 360 contest, your goal is to take a full 360 degrees of shots, but this time, it is going around an object, to capture it's full surface. It's kind of like making a globe into a flat map, but with panorama photography. As long as you show the full surface 360 of any subject, it's on theme. Have fun and good luck!


Required level: 10+ or higher.
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

What my entry would have been. . . If i was "Level 10" lol

Cool image I created a while back of a guys calf tattoo. Made from 4 images stitched together in CS5. Neat eh? Anyone level 10 that wants to enter it, you can take the credit, let me know I'll send it to ya lol ( 5 years and 2948 days ago )
jeaniblog: Arghhh, can't get this right!!!! ( 5 years and 2947 days ago )
smokebigbird: still need a link on how we do this please. ( 5 years and 2947 days ago )
UncleJimmy: @ smokebigbird....there are no links on how to do this that I'm aware of. I basically started from scratch and painstakingly hand stitched. Automated software is basically useless in this type of panorama because for some reason it does not recognize an "outside" circle pano ans does not yield a great result; GL ( 5 years and 2947 days ago )
jawshoewhah: This is going to be quite challenging I think ( 5 years and 2946 days ago )
jawshoewhah: FlairDevil: Just kick ass in the all levels contest and get a level 10 for next week. ( 5 years and 2946 days ago )
kyricom: OH GOD!!!!! We have to do something that can't be done with automated software!!!??? You SADISTS!!! ( 5 years and 2946 days ago )
jawshoewhah: Yeah, auto merge doesn't work. The more I play around with these, the more I've learned a tighter overlay is the answer to making these work. ( 5 years and 2944 days ago )
wazowski: I guess it's not allowed (cause it's not really photography), but a way to make an image from ie a jar is to put it on a scanner and let the jar roll with a same speed as the scanner light . But then again, how much can you call that a photo.... ( 5 years and 2941 days ago )
jawshoewhah: I'm surprised no one tried shooting a globe. I just couldn't find one in time. ( 5 years and 2940 days ago )
kyricom: Ohhhh, good idea Josh. I wish I had thought of that. We have several laying around ( 5 years and 2940 days ago )

Howdie stranger!
