Spherical Panoramas

Here are my two spherical panoramas that I created rotating 360 degrees, taking 2 sets of 10 to 15 photos. I used Adobe Bridge to edit my images(Camera Raw) and Photoshop to create these images using the photomerge option to make the panorama for me. Then I warped my image so it was a perfect rectangle. I then squished the image in to a perfect square, so then I could use the polar coordinates filter to make it become a sphere. I then used the elliptical marquee tool to make sure my image was a perfect circle. I then feathered and contracted my image to smooth my edges.
