Weeping Stereographic Willow

    Stereographic projection of an equirectangular panorama. As per Cédric's suggestion, this one is rotated, whereas the previous one was not. Which one do you prefer?

    This also shows that in a stereographic projection straight lines teither stay straight or turn into circles.

    Hand-held, Nikon 10.5mm fisheye, 6 portrait shots + 1 zenith +1 nadir.

      It took me a minute to figure out what happened here. The reflection of the water make it look really neat. Great idea.

      Seb, are you using the Stereographic code that comes as an example with Mathmap, or did you come up with a better algorithm for these?

      Josh: I use the formulas shown here (the ones that say inverse formulas).

      Superbe, mais ce coup-ci, je verrais bien l'arbre dans le bon sens (+180°). Je sais, je sais, jamais content... toujours à pinailler, mais j'ai essayé, c'est pas mal (bon, je me suis juste fait un torticolis à me tourner la tête comme ça...) ;o)
