Tiny Spherical Worlds

Hey guys!! it's me again TALIA!! I'm back from my 3 day weekend and 3rd Mid Quarter just passed and I am PUMPED!!! I am very excited for our new project which you're probably wondering what it is and i'm about to tell you ready? 1..............2...............3..............it's PANORAMAS!!! If you're unsure of what a panorama is i'll tell you right now. A Panorama is an image created by taking multiple pictures and overlapping each picture from the previous photo taken to create a wide viewed image of an observers surrounding area.

Composite images, different pictures taken to create a more advanced image that's beyond the works of a camera. Composite images are in my opinion very interesting they take multiple images to give you a great depth of feeling for the image so that you can look at it and just be wowed . The point of composite images is to give you a better understanding of the situation and setting so you can comprehend better what is happening it gives the viewer a way nicer image with multiple layers of astonishment. One picture is great, but can be a little boring, but multiple pictures are better because they add more depth and make the visuals stand out more. When I take one picture I try to make it look really interesting by getting different angles and finding different object that will make the shot stand out, but I think that with composite images I can just take a couple pictures of something and it will make the shot look a whole lot better.
         
In this project we're working with both spherical and polar panoramas. Polar panoramas are
when you take a panoramic photo and use the polar coordinates filter in photoshop after you turn the image 180 degrees to create a circular image that gives the appearance of a panorama wrapped around a planet. A spherical Panorama is when you take a panoramic image and instead of turning the image 180 degrees you go straight into the filter, polar coordinates, and you get the appearance of the sky being turned into like a sphere or circular shape. the difference between them is that both of their finished products are the opposite of each other. In the polar pano the land is turned into a circle shape while in the spherical pano the sky is turned into the circular shape.

The tiny worlds that we have been working on are suppose to be convincing, but also pop out. In order for that to happen what I had to do is use my editing skills and make my portraits stand out by making them big, bold, and bright. Making it big wasn't really a challenge for me I increased the size of my portrait because it was really small when I imported it into my finished images and increasing the size just made it look like I was actually on top of the world. I made it bold by adding the shadow just like how everybody else did as well, but I also edited my portrait in Adobe to make my body and face really pop. Finally, I made it bright by making the saturation in all of my images really bright.
