A Broken Globe

One of my favourite local photographers has this photo blog, TopLeftPixel.  Last month, he posted the following picture showing King's College Circle @ University of Toronto.  I've been meaning to take a panoramic shot and create my own "globe".

Without further ado, the Tochi Globe I:

The globe has an uneven crack at the top (must have been either tripod movement or a stitcher issue).  The colours totally didn't match due to the sunrise - my wrap around point was in the water there.  Nevertheless, I thought it turned out pretty well, considering it is my first Photoshop product and one of the few panoramas I have shot.  I'll have to try an easier panoramic shot / globe again. 

Some of my other non-panoramic sunrise (5:48am) photos turned out better:

Good morning
Sunrise

 

All photos were from Ajax Waterfront Park on July 15th, 2007.

 

ETA: Added the original panorama for the globe.

    wow it took me a long while to figure out what the globe thing actually was but it looks cool though. The sunset pictures looks awesome too. Did you get up early just for that?

    Yeah, I didn't do a very good job with the globe. haha.

    I was going biking early that morning, so decided to get up an hour or so earlier to catch the sunrise.
