Newcastle - Little Planet

I have had a hospital appointment in Newcastle today so have been out most of the day. After having lunch at Kotara we went into town to take some photos.

It has been a beautiful autumn day here today and the temperature has been 27 degrees c (80 f)

I have thought about creating a little planet photo in Photoshop for quite a while and I have finally got round to doing one. I was quite pleased with the way this photo of the centre of Newcastle looking towards the ocean has turned out.

If anyone is interested in how to create a little planet, here is a link to a Gavin Hoey tutorial on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rbTE71PMYE

Thanks to everyone who commented on my sunset photo yesterday and I have just noticed that it is on the PP.

I will catch up again on 365 later this evening.

[Barb Newcomb]

Thanks for the info Babs. This looks amazing - one more thing to try! Fav

[Joyce]

Babs this is amazing. How ever do you achieve this? Fav

[Ashley Ross]

Polar coordinate filter can be quite fun, and this is one of the better ones I have seen! Well done!

[Paula W]

Perfect subject for this treatment Babs, looks like it's 3 o'clock!

[Peter]

Great result Babs sharp,colourful and interesting, I have had a go at this but was never happy with my efforts:)

[HEW]

wow! thats very clever!

[Hazel]

I love these - wonder if anything other than Photoshop allows you to make them....

[Loopy-Lou]

Fabulous must have a go at this it's been one list for ages. This is awesome!!

[sally agnew]

That is so cool Babs :)

[Leslie]

This is wonderful. Did you find it hard to follow and do? I have PS elements but the only thing I know how to do with it is add text to pictures. Maybe I'll give it a try one day.

[Babs]

@beachdog Thanks Barb, give it a go, it is so easy. I have wanted to do it for a while, but either haven't had the right photo or the time.

[Babs]

@thistle Thanks Joyce, it is so easy in Photoshop I put the link to how to do it above, but here it is again.

@kiwisnapper Thanks so much Ashley, I was pleased with the result too

[Babs]

@paulaw Thanks Paula, it was twenty minutes to three ha ha.

[Babs]

@pcoulson Thanks Peter. I seem to remember you doing a little planet shot a while ago. Why don't you give it another go.

[Babs]

@hwhittle77 Thanks so much.

[Babs]

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel, I am sure there must be other ways of doing them other than in Photoshop. Google will know I am sure.

[Babs]

@bizziebeeme Thanks so much. It has been on my list for ages too and it is so easy to do.

[Babs]

@hermann Thanks Sally. I was pleased with the results here. It has been on my list of things to do for a while.

[Babs]

@lesip Hi Leslie, this is so easy to do. I use Photoshop CC and the link is above. I will copy it again here for you too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rbTE71PMYE
but it should be more or less the same in PS Elements. If not I am sure there will be lots of tutorials on YouTube other than the one I have shown. Give it a go, you will be really surprised as to how easy it is.

[Sue]

This is wonderful Babs, I have got to do this.

[Ashley]

Well done, Babs! Thanks for including that link!
