    large.

    Also the photo of the day, but I wanted to share this.

    Last year, my principle approached me about using the photo on the left for our high school agenda. I was more than happy to say yes and sent him the file, all I wanted was photo credit. Walked into school to see copies of it in the hands of 900 of my closest friends.

    Very excited.

    Nice work!

    How did you do that - I am assuming you used a fisheye?

    You'd be surprised how many people asked me if I rented a helicopter and shot this fisheye. They assume a bigger budget than a 15 year old I guess.

    It was a 360 degree panorama shot at night. In photoshop, I made the height equal to the width, flipped it upside down, and applied the Polar Coordinate filter. Of course, with the enormous file crashing Photoshop a few times in the process.

    Again, thanks everyone.

    Gretchen, next time they give me a shot at that helicopter, I'll be sure to stop by. Rental fees are getting cheap.
