Still working to perfect this technique.
1: Can't really take this type of photo at sunset.
2: need to use a tripod
3: panorama needs to match on both sides (or use a decent 360° one)
.
4: I've thought of using another nice finishing touch. (I didn't do it
to this one, but I'll use it on my next one:
Once all the pictures of the 360 degree panorama are taken, as
usual, take another picture looking straight down. of the ground
below where the tripod was, trying not to get any shadow in it.
Once you've done that, then use the "sperize" option in
Photoshop on it and then place it in the middle of the mini planet to
get a nice finished look, instead of the stretched pixel lines that
normally appear at the middle.
Naturally, you'll need to position it properly and then blend it at
the edges to get it to look good. (and get the settings in the
spherize correct).
Maybe I'll post a how-to, next time I do one of these.

this is sweet. The sunset works! It looks to me like an eclipse. I can't even tell you didn't use a tripod.

rc13rc13rc13: thanks, i cheated quite a lot in photoshop to make the traffic cirlce round. After applying the polar coordinates, it looked more like pacman... clone tool and healing brush to the rescue...
