Little Planets - come on, have a go!

Karen Oliver posted a 'Little Planet' picture the other day, which reminded me how much fun and just how easy to do these Little Planets were.

Here isa really simple and fun tutorial that's just a few minutes long and once you get it you might get addicted.

Great idea for a thread! :-) Love your water coolers! I did so many of these things but here is one I like of the geese at Salford Quays.

Great stuff Karen - love the colours.

Did you get treatment for your addiction? I have a few others but soon realised that certain pictures work better than others. Then I found myself going out and shooting pictures to specifically turn in to Little Planets. That's when I got help.

LOL, well you know I was warned that dabbling in HDR would lead to the harder stuff and they were right!. One go at little planets and I was hooked! :-) I tried to resist, but the cold sweats, sleeplness nights and the urge to dabble was overwhelming!

Luckily ' Little planets anonymous' befriended me and after 3mths of intensive psychotherapy I think I can call myself cured - well amost <g>

A quick and undercaffeinated attempt, using a shot I took last month.



I'll have another go when I take, or find, photos more suited to this (and with less bloody clouds).
