How to take a photo sphere?

June 02, 2015: After posting some sphere photos in social medias, I have been getting request from people, to tell them the process to take photo sphere. Though I am not that perfect in this, I would like to share the process for taking the photo sphere.

• At first all you need a smartphone with Google camera app on it. (available in Android Playstore and Apple store).
• Open the google camera app in your mobile.
• Slide right in the screen and click the photo sphere icon.
• Hold your phone vertically and keep the closest comfortable distance between you and the phone.
• You will be told to start  and make sure you keep dot inside the circle.
• Start moving the camera slowly from left to right, top, bottom in all directions to have a complete coverage.
• Try to keep the distance between you and the phone to be uniform.
• After some processing, the photo sphere will be available to you where you can see the complete 360 degree view from the point you stand. 
• To present it in a different view as posted in http://profsmythe.blogspot.com /2015/06/my-fascination-with-dharahara-with.html">my picture, click edit in the picture, then create tiny planet. You can even zoom in and rotate the photo to make it look you have clicked it from some top point.

Here is a photo that I have clicked with a mobile tower on it.
