Thank you. I must admit to adding a bit of extra blue to the sky.

To start with Zambrean you need a 360 degree panorama. You make it by stitching together a set of pictures taken around a single point. You will need some software to do this. I use Panorama Studio but you may find you have some free software with your camera which can do this. Once you have the panorama resize it to a square. Rotate 180 degrees. Then in Photoshop go to Filter>Distort>Polar Coordinates and select Rectangular to Polar. You will need to clean the very centre of the image a bit as there usually a bit of distortion. I hope this helps. I first found out about this technique here.
