I suspect he may be shooting spherical panoramas, then playing around with the projection until it looks cool. Picrelated is one of mine using that technique.

That makes a lot of sense, I should try it myself sometimes.
What kind of software did you use to Post Process that? In terms of the playing around with the projection I mean.

I use PTGui (paid), but I assume the same can probably be achieved with Hugin (free).
