This is my new obsession. A while ago I found this guy on Flickr, Seb Przd, and was amazed by his images. I just had to know how they were made, so I started digging around the internet. The technique is to take a bunch of photos so that they together cover your entire surroundings, 360×180 degrees. Then with the help of Hugin, a panorama software, you stitch all the images together into an equirectangular panorama. The final step is to use a Photoshop Plug-in, Flexify, to get the spherical effect.

I made this one of our kitchen in London from 16 images with a 10mm lens. Hope you like it!

Here’s a bigger version, and here’s the equirectangular panorama from which the above image was made.
