Taken on the way to Seattle in gas station.

For people who are interested:

You need a very good panoramic shot of scene that has perfect leveled horizon and preferably 360 degree of view.

You also need to have Photoshop CS1, CS2 or CS3. I am not sure if older versions of Photoshop or other software are up to the task, you might want to ask around

Now the fun part. You need to go to Image > Image Size. There you need to adjust either length or width to match the others. Sometimes to do this you need to remove the check mark at "Constrain Proportions". e.g. length is 3000 pixel and width is 800 pixel, so you need to either increase the 800 to 3000 or reduce the 3000 to 800. I recommend the first to get a large image instead of small one.

Then rotate the image 180 degree, this is also known as flipping it upside down. To do this go to Image > Rotate Canvas > 180.

Last but not least is to go to Photoshop Filters > Distorts > Polar Coordinates > Choose Rectangular to Polar option and hit OK.

The rest is only cleaning and blending the edges with healing brushes.

Hope to see some great works in this field from you.
