Cheers Bob,

Its a 360 degree panorama stitched together using a brilliant piece of software called PTGui. You can do some very creative things with panoramas - I've attached my favourite night time one that I took at home.

So normally, they are taken from earth looking up, but now I'm using my drone to take somewhere between 20-40 16mp still images to create an incredibly large panorama that can then be manipulated to get the desired effect - that projection is called Little Planet and is effectively the same as taking a fish-eye shot.

Get clicking
