Little Planets

After taking a look at Chris Kotsiopoulos' work, I've become quite interested in the 'little planet' technique he's used on a few images. His work often combines multiple techniques such as timelapse photography to create really interesting little planets.

Here's a tutorial covering the basics of how it's done:

Here's a collection of these I've found so far.

The problem with this technique is that it's quite overdone now and unless you can bring something interesting to the image like these images shot from the peak district.

Ideally other techniques are incorportated like in this image by Chris Kotsiopoulos:

This image shoes a full 24 hours in a brilliant way. His website actually contains a brief explanation of how he created this image. I think attempting to create something on this level would be too ambitious for my current skills. It would also require transportation and equipment that I don't have access to. Perhaps I'll look into 180 degree panoramas instead and incorporate a timelapse in there.
