Little Planet - Kawaguchiko Jr Station [Mt. Fuji]

Little planets images... interesting isn't it..

Introducing my wife Jocelyn on Steemit platform for the first time!
I took this photo in Japan during our honeymoon in Kawaguchiko Jr Station near Mount Fuji.

Unfortunately, her face was rather blur in the panorama picture, hence i took the opportunity to test out the little planet style.

Here's a quick tutorial on how to do it using GIMP:

1. First you would need to find a panoramic picture which is:
   • Horizontal - the both ends should look somewhat similar (texture & height)
   • Has similar lighting condition overall
2. Next, edit the picture if the 2 ends are not similar enough
3. You can process the colors of the image however you see fit
4. Use the Polar Coordinate filter (Filters > Distort > Polar Coordinate) and use the following settings:

Note: In my case, the original picture i used did not have similar endings, there's the bus stop structure on the right side (i had to edit that out)

1. Circle depth in percent: 100%
2. Offset angle: (Anything, as long as your subject is oriented properly)
3. Un-check "Map from top"

IMPORTANT if not your image might end up looking like this:

That's all, you're done.
Good luck & have fun with it :)

(p/s: let's see if markdown is working properly on @steepshot haha)
