A Different Perspective (Original Photography)

Howdy!

For awhile, I've seen these "Tiny World" photos. @lighteye posted one here yesterday and I, again, contemplated how they might be created. Interest piqued, I set off to create one.

^{It Is a Small World, After All!}
I like figuring puzzles like this out. Logic games and reasoning puzzles have always fascinated me. In the end, this wasn't too terribly difficult. The biggest hitch I ran into was figuring out how Photoshop changes an image into polar coordinates.

Once I had that figured out, of course, I just had to take it a step further...

^{The World Is Your Donut!}
The donut world is my favorite of the two, and presents some interesting possibilities for future Photoshop micromundos. This is something I'll definitely play with in the future, though I still prefer non-Photoshopped images.
