Taking a holiday out of this world

... at a friend's house in Deauville (or close to it), Normandy, France.
The equirectangular version of this panorama is not great, since I lacked a couple pictures in the sky, so you won't see it, sorry! :)

Part of my Planetoids set

Very nice ! beautiful shot(s)
PS : don't tell me you weren't able to fake a piece of this perfectly uniform blue sky... Find a better excuse ! (however I always have the same problem : ~35mm doesn't allow you to shoot straight up and still catch land details on which to find control points...)

I can fake the sky when it's uniform, sure, but here the problem was near the sun, so I had a patch to fill that had to go from almost white to dark, intense blue. A great part of the sky here is faked, but it was more difficult beyond this.

To fill holes when the sky is not uniform, I usually try the "smart remove selection" script that comes with the resynthetizer plugin for The Gimp. It don't always work nicely, but often it'll help.

Thanks everyone!

: this is not polar coordinates, but rather astereographic projection.

: thanks! I just downloaded it, I'll give it a try.

The fisheye lens or fisheye effect is so often over- or mis-used. This is a truly original application. Bravo!
Posted 35 months ago. ( permalink )

Manυ says:

Thank you all!
thx for the invite!
thank you... however this has nothing to do with fisheye: it was not shot with a fisheye lens, nor is it a simulation of a fisheye lens... visit my planets set for more info if you wish :)
