Planet Zog

This image began life as 11 separate frames. I exported them from Lightroom into Autopano and created a panorama from them. I then imported the pano into Photoshop where I distorted the pano into a square format and then performed a polar co-ordinates filter on them to create the basic planet. I then did some cutting and pasting and then some basic stamping and healing. Then it was back to Lightroom to do some final tone adjustments and exporting. Simples!

I say "I" here, but really the software does all the work, I just direct operations. In the end I quite like my planet!
