A tiny-planet effect of a man in a red kayak, on a lake, looking up toward the camera. A water bottle is strapped to the deck of the kayak and a bright-green dry bag sits on the man's lap. His paddle is black with orange blades. The water looks black, around the kayak, but lightens to grey as the water stretches out toward the edges of the circle that make a tiny-planet illusion. Trees line the perimeter of the circle, and rock cliffs fill the lower-right edge. Surrounding the 'planet' are grey clouds that threaten a storm.
The image was captured with an Insta360 X3 camera that was attached to a three-metre monopod, which is attached to the deck of the kayak with a strong suction cup (the black dot at the centre of the image. Because the camera has two lenses, a 360-degree image can be captured, and because the monopod lies in between the stitch line of the two lenses, it becomes invisible.
Random photo of the day. On Rock Lake.
