text: A photographer has turned typical British locations including parks, villages and beaches into their own, individual planets with mind-bending 360 -degree photographs. Anthony Barbour, 33, from Liverpool, takes his camera everywhere and his pictures showcase Sefton Park and One Shopping Centre in Liverpool, Mudeford Beach and Durdle Door in Dorset, Burley Village in the New Forest and North Wales, among others. Once he finds the right location, he will spend hours slowly rotating in one spot taking the 50 pictures he needs to create just one image. He said: 'I spin around three times until I've captured as much of my surroundings as I can, from floor to sky. 'Finding the right location can come down to lots of elements, but for me it's mostly opportunity. Usually an open space with an interesting landscape and not too much movement.' He uses a Canon 1100d DSLR with either a 18-55mm kit lens or a Tokina 11-16mm to shoot the photographs and then uses PhotoShop to stitch and layer the photos together. Mr Barbour says he finds photography as an unlikely escape from a recently diagnosed illness. He said: 'In the last few years my health has taken a down turn with a diagnosis of Ulcerative Pan Colitis, an unpleasant but manageable autoimmune disease. 'Keeping myself artistically occupied has been important. It's given me a reason to teach myself more intricate editing techniques.' Scroll down for video .
