    Default Stereographic projection

    Just for fun - some "little planet" (stereographic projection) views of local sights. Consisting of around 18-20 shots at 14mm shot in all directions, these are stitched together and projected in a particular way to produce some unusual images.

    The first two images are actually from the same image set!

    Clever and very effective; I especially like the Ecclesgreig Castle.
    Well done, Graeme!

    Thank you Fred.

    In case you're wondering what Ecclesgreig usually looks like (apart from me light painting it, that is!)...

    Hi Graeme,

    I do remember what it looks like from a post you made earlier, circa 2009, where you light-painted the castle with a very starry sky. This 'little planet' version really invites the viewer in 'play' on the green lawn. Again, fun and innovative image. Thanks for posting.

    Best Regards,
    ~Fred

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Thanks Gary and Wizard!

    It has indeed been a long time, Gary - great to see the community still thriving. Hope life is treating you well!

    I don't get to use Xara as often these days but it gets called upon whenever I need to do some printing or to do a mock up - it does it with such ease!
