Polar Panoramas

These are my panoramas I finished using the steps below. These steps were similar to the steps of a Spherical panorama. First you take about ten photos that slightly overlap and merge them into a Panorama in photoshop. Then you shape the photo to be square and rotate it 180 degrees. Finally you apply a Polar filter to the image and edit the result until it looks natural.

Then to place myself in the final project I took a photo that was at an above angle so it captured the feeling that I was looking out from the world. Then using the quick selection tool, I selected myself and deleted all but me. I then made a copy for a shadow and turned the opacity up and the saturation down. Then I simply placed it in a realistic place.
