Tiny Spherical Worlds

Hi everybody! I'm back, and I have a whole new project to talk about. Today I will be telling you about Polar and Spherical panoramas.

Composite images are interesting and its nice to have different creative varieties of pictures. There is nothing wrong with taking one photo of something instead of a bunch of different ones and putting them together, but it is nice to have an option. Imagine if there was only one way to take a photo. That would get pretty boring wouldn't it? Also they are interesting to look at and fun to make. Maybe you prefer regular photos, but a lot of people enjoy making composite images. There are many different interesting varieties of photos, and that, itself is very interesting.

One difference between polar and spherical panoramas is that one is like a tiny world, and the other is like a crystal ball that you are looking into. Another difference is that when you are creating a spherical in Photoshop, there is one step that you don't do, unlike when you create a polar which you have to do the step. (The step is rotating the image, if you were wondering.) One more is spherical is more like you are looking at a tiny world, while polar is more like you are in your own tiny world.

My tiny worlds will be convincing because, I will work very hard not to have anything on top but sky. This is important because if you have a tree on top then it could ruin your outer space effect. I will also make sure that I take them at a vertical angle so it is better quality, and works, and functions better.. I will also work hard on editing and using the clone stamp. Also, I will make sure that the horizon line is in the exact middle so my world is not to big or to small, but just right! if your horizon line is on top, your panorama will be too big, and if it at the bottom, it will be to small. I will also make sure my portrait is done right so it looks good, and is good quality.

Well, thats all for now. See you next time!

Hockney Style Joiners

Shooting Film: "joiners"

Hi everyone! This time I will be talking about David Hockney. If you don't know who David Hockney is, I will tell you. David Hockney is a famous photographer, painter, and more. A few facts about him are. He was born on July 9 1937, he is 78, and was born in Bridlington, United Kingdom. Hockney does a type of photography called photomontages. Now I will tell you how his photomontages are different from mine.

 One reason why his photomontages are different from mine is we take pictures of different things. He usually does people and I like to do people, but also nature, and more. The photo aboveis a self portrait of himself. That is an example of a photomontage. One other difference is since he is so experienced, his are better quality. I just started doing photomontages, so mine are not as good, but I am working on it!


My final photomontage of Star Wars movies one, two, and three.

                                                                                               

One example of how images can send of positive or negative messages, is with lighting and shadow. For example, people can feel certain ways, depending on the shadows, if the picture is dark, or if the picture is filled with light. You can experience strong moods from just looking at a picture. Another example is the subject. If your subject is a positive thing, you could instantly feel positive or happy. However, if the subject is a negative thing, you could feel negative. One more thing is you. Certain people feel certain moods for different things. I you happen to love a certain thing, then looking at a picture of it will make you feel positive. Also, if you happen to dislike something than you would get negative messages from it.

With my final photomontage, I wanted you to get a sense of me. I wanted you to know that my subject was meaningful to me. My subject was the Star Wars movies. This subject is meaningful to me because my dad grew up loving Star Wars and he passed down that love to me. Star Wars is now a part of my life. I love it, and I always will, no matter what. They are my favorite movies, and in my opinion, they are awesome.

Well, thats all for now. See you next time! Bye!
