Finding beauty on a construction site with 360 degree aerial images
Exploring the various panoramic features my drone has to offer this weekend I came across the 'sphere' feature which is also known as the 'Tiny Planet' feature!
It creates the image you can see below by shooting multiple images in every direction and then stitching them together.
I open this image in GIMP (a free photoshop alternative) and tweak it a little to create the sphere.
From this:
To this:
My own tiny planet!
You can also invert the scenery, creating something quite strange!
Or even stranger...
...or stranger still!
At sunset
I had to know what it looked like!

Or even this!
'Normal' panoramas
Of course the DJI Mavic 2 pro does also have some panoramic features which don't resemble another dimension. The standard horizon shot (comprised of nine shots) shows the full construction site in a single image.
I am looking forward to seeing this solar farm complete! The solar panels arrive one week from now... and things are about to get busy around here.
I will be ready ;)

Thanks, Sam: I will try to play too with Gimp... you have really intrigued me!
This guy explains how to do it on GIMP ;)
Enjoy!
Thank you very much: I'll see it!
!BEER
Cool! Thanks :)
If I can reciprocate the pleasure of sharing a cool video, I suggest you this one:
This video serves as a good reminder of why it is important to know WHAT happened... enjoy it!
Thanks for this. Am curious now to know more about the proposed energy weapon. Or energy tool I should say, being used as a weapon.
It goes with my understanding of how the ancients created stone blocks with perfect symmetry, as if they had once been a liquid, or powder, inside a casting mould. Perhaps the same technology?
Follow this path, Sam: it's really interesting!
Enjoy!
I am enjoying! A very interesting new look at it. One I had missed until now. Many thanks. A worthy swap for the GIMP video!
Am assuming this YouTube channel is the best for further info on the subject?

Fascinating - and thanks.
As for GIMP, I have used it for many years and I do not understand why anyone would pay the high prices charged by art programs when GIMP does it all and is for free.
Excellent you are already on the GIMP bandwagon. I have resisted buying photoshop for so long and now I know why. I discovered GIMP just two days ago when I was researching how to make spheres from the 360degree images. And as you say, it does everything you need it to! Brilliant.
Cracking shots GIMP is great although not used it in ages. Got yourself a few little icons there as a bonus 💯🐒
I was thinking that myself! Tiny planet icons.
I tried one where I was much closer to the camera but it distorted my body. Still kinda cool though;)
Yer like it works well 💯🐒
