An Alien Planet Shot - (I think I've watched too much sci-fi) (Get Pushed Challenge)

Oh I am not sure I met the qualifications. I haven't had a chance to get away from West Bend this week I've been fighting a cold. I don't see any "panorama" quality views here. I'm not sure how to stitch various photos together. Well I'll see if I can find something else for on Saturday or Sunday.


My get pushed challenge:
Hi Kathy, what an amazing shot - you are very talented. You are almost at 100% for this project and you have great shot's to show for it. So I want to give you something special I think you'll enjoy - I've been told it's fun. I am going to give you a challenge I haven’t tried myself yet but want to as it looks like fun and I hope you will enjoy it. My challenge for you is to create your own "Planet" photo using a Panorama shot
@evahenriette Oh I am not sure if this qualifies. It isn't exactly a Panorama shot I've been fighting a cold so I have been staying pretty local. I don't see any Panorama worthy shots around here. If I can do it on Saturday or Sunday I will have another go. I don't know how to stitch photos together. Oh I don't want to fail this challenge

Kathy , No matter what you attempt, it always looks good!
December 7th, 2012  
@grammyn Thank you Katy - I'm not very confident with this one. Also, I think I'm suppose to do a panorama shot first and then turn it into planet. I've been sick so staying close to home. Not a lot worth of panorama around here.

Have you ever done a panorama? I don't know how to do this. I don't have photoshop.
December 7th, 2012  
@myhrhelper My camera will stitch a shot together for a panorama but I have never done one! I don't know why it needs to be a panorama THIS looks awesome!
December 7th, 2012  
Very good!

When i first looked at this i thought it was an eye !!! .....lol...great pic love it :)) faved it :))
December 7th, 2012  
it reminds me of electrical waves, but also a strange kind of brain - excellent work!
December 7th, 2012  
This is really cool. Love it.
December 7th, 2012  
I think this looks good. Thank you so much for the links Kathy. I have had Gimp on my computer for ages, and the only thing I had learnt to do was resize a photo for entering to a web comp. I followed the instuctions on the first link.....and I made a tiny planet! It was a terrible photo to start with so its a terrible tiny planet, but it did work, now I just need a better pano shot to have another go!!
December 7th, 2012  
Cool processing
December 8th, 2012  
I think you are too hard on yourself, Kathy... this is a gorgeous tiny planet! And if you are staying close to home try an indoor panorama and make that into a tiny planet... it could be a tiny Christmas planet it you feature your tree and go from there. I think that would look pretty cool!
December 8th, 2012  
Very, very cool
December 8th, 2012  
I don't know what your challenger was expecting but this is so so cool, I love it. Also congrats on completing your year, are you continuing on?
December 8th, 2012  
This is wild.
December 8th, 2012  
Fantastic capture Kathy, love the processing!
December 8th, 2012  
how the alien views our planet lol
December 8th, 2012  
I dont know what you did, or how you did it...but i said wow when i first opened it!! Great shot! i cant see how you could go wrong with this! FAV! ..i have a question regarding Photoshop...i am very computer and photoshop iliterate..if you had a chance to get a Ipad or photoshop which one would you choose? Now i dont do that much processing now with my photo's but am i missing somethin so big and dont even know it? i am willing to learn but i do not have alot of patience...should i go for it or stick with picmonkey and get the ipad! lol!
December 8th, 2012  
@ellimae All the software I use is free online software. I use Picmonkey, Ipiccy, and for this shot Gimp (don't really know this one yet). I would love to get a regular photo software like Photoshop but I've never used it. My husband has an Android tablet and he loves it. He is always forwarding photo articles to me from it. If it were me I'd probably go with the Ipad or Android and just keep using the free stuff for now.
December 8th, 2012  
Oh well that makes me feel even better about getting the ipad!! lol! Thank you so much..this shot is great and i thought for sure you used photoshop or i guess i assumed you did because of the links she posted!! my error for assuming! lol! Thanks u so much for your advice Kathy! i love your photo's! And respect your opinion! :)
December 8th, 2012  
Om My i just realized that this is your 366 shot!! Congratulations! and one Fantastic Shot to end your Project!! God Bless you and your Husbands work!! I hope you stay with us..i am just getting to know you! :) .
December 8th, 2012  
@ellimae Thank you you are too kind - she also included something about Gimp and that was my only hope to try this since I don't have photoshop.
December 8th, 2012  
@kjarn Thank you On December 12th I actually complete it (only a few days away). I do plan on continuing
December 8th, 2012  
Hi Kathy, your shots are amazing. You've done brilliantly and have definitely met the challenge. Hope you had fun doing it.
I've had some fun with the challenge you gave me, I've only uploaded on, view here: http://365project.org/evahenriette/365/2012-12-04 and hope to upload a few other tomorrow.

Kathy this is spectacular (a Fav) - I think I might try my hand at this type of project one day. Congratulations on making the PP it's well deserved :)

Excellent processing!
December 10th, 2012  
Like an eyeball but yet not. Very cool.
December 10th, 2012  
I had planned to come back to this image and look at the tutorial you had posted. Now I can't see the link. Is it my browser that's stopping me to see the link or have you removed it? Even if you can just tell me what this type of image is called I can look it up.
Again, this is a fantastic image. Not sure why you thought you didn't do well with it.
December 12th, 2012  
Brilliant image selection for this, love it. Fav
December 12th, 2012  
You did this brilliantly! I think you chose the perfect starting shot - giving you a special & unique 'planet'. Great job! Ab Fab FAV! :)
December 15th, 2012  
Love planets & you executed this really well. Fav'ed.
