The kooky planetoids above are all polar panoramas: 360° panoramic photographs, digitally rolled via Photoshop into spheres.
The last two pix are of the Raygun Gothic Rocket Ship sculpture on San Francisco’s Embarcadero by Stephen Dos Remedios – before and after ‘polarisation’.
Thousands more examples on this polar panorama Flickr group.
