A long time ago I made a mini globe of Malihide Castle. Ever since then I’ve wanted to recreate something similar in the middle of O’Connell street with the Spire being the primary focus point.
Well, almost a year has passed and between then and now I’ve had a few failed attempts. To create these images you need to be able to take almost perfect 360 degree panoramas – something that I just haven’t been able to completely nail.
So, a couple of weeks ago with my new gigapan system I went into the middle of O’Connell Street and setup my tripod halfway between the spire and the Jim Larkin statue. I took a total of 36 images to get a full panorama.
The trouble was that I could not get these images to stitch together, until last night.
So, after some additional photoshop work to iron out a the minor glitches the O’Connell Street mini globe is finally ready.
Mission accomplished! (click to see the full res image)
