I’ll be forced to pass.
didnt i see that at the start of that old tv show time tunnel?
Seems to me that the real trick would be replacing batteries every couple of hours without moving the camera.
Photoshop - it’s the only way to go.
I didn’t get a 360 degree pic, but I did get an interesting similar shot of star trails when I was about jr. high school age. Got my dad’s Speed Graphic 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 on the tripod, climbed up on the roof of the house just after dusk and set it up. Opened the shutter, climbed back down and went to bed. Got up before dawn and climbed back up to close the shutter and get the camera off the roof.
When I developed the sheet of film - from a film pack, no less - I had a nice semi-circle of star trails. It was fascinating. Wish I still had that piece of film. Still got the camera, though. And the wooden tripod. [ grin ]
