I've posted this panorama before but probably in another format and in HDR. This one here is done using the RAW files.
I couldn't manage to create a new circular panorama yesterday; fatigue and a busy day is such a disastrous mix. Actually, I've tried to create one quickly (from 2014 collection) but unfortunately, things didn't quite work out well, and I'm gonna need to do more steps and procedures. So, we'll see if I can manage to make one today!
This panorama here is for Inchagoill church on Inchagoill island in Loch Coirib (lough Corrib) in Co. Galway. It is said that the church was built by St Patrick himself. Actually, the name "Inchagoill" is the anglicization of "Inis an Ghaill" (island of the foreigner); supposedly that foreigner was St Patrick (but that's debated).

Circularium Samhna (2014)

Well, not Halloween yet (I guess?) but something for it in advance. One of the early panoramas that I've shot using infrared filter and a regular camera. The panorama was problematic for the lack of details in the sky, so the stitcher had a hard time putting things together. Originally, I did this manually, but now I'm re-doing it in a haste, so I didn't fix much about it (hence the foggy dirty look which I think serves the mysterious haunted look right). In the end, I've played around with the colors a bit, reversing the channels on the upper half of the sphere and leaving it as is in the lower half.
Thought on the side: How do they celebrate Halloween in the southern hemisphere? I mean the weather is getting colder and all of that which gives it a chill, but down there it is the opposite season (technically spring) and the night span is also different and all - hmm 🤔

Circularium Oculus (2014);

Another one almost made from scratch. I've posted this panorama before (in vertical format specifically) and it was for a path in Oughterard. Lucky to shoot it without any cars passing by during the work!
I had a REAL struggle with the color rendition despite working with HDR. In the end, even though I do like the greenish scheme, but decided to alter the colors in the same way I usually do with infrared images - I think it is more dreamy and fantasy-like right now!
Named it "oculus" (eye) as it looked like an eyeball. Typically with such panoramas I would center the image around the zenith or the nadir points (and this works usually for places where I can shoot with some kind of symmetry around the point where I stand and shoot), but with this countryside road, things were random, naturally, so I started to play around with the angle of view and this angle caught my eye as it looked like an eyeball (Kermit's eyeball to be specific!). One thing I'm still feeling not-so-ok about here is the white blank sky hat barely has any streak of details, but let's not delve into perfectionism here shall we.

Circularium Silva (2014);

Something from Ireland again, and probably all that could be seen here is some soil and trees; as they say, I couldn't see the forest because of the trees! I was lucky here to find the modeling files (in JPEG format), so I didn't have to do things from scratch. The downside here is that I don't have much freedom in controlling the lighting of the scene as is the case when doing everything from scratch from HDR files.
Other versions of this panorama were printed and some were published as well in some catalogs (I think in 2015/2016). The problem with this perspective is that the trees are way too random to discern any details in this format, I believe.

The Waterfront (V2.0) - 2014;

Again, didn't have the time to do a circular panorama, so here is a panorama I've posted few days ago but in B&W. As usual, this one was made using RAW files instead of HDR as in the original.
