Tiny Spherical Worlds

Polar 1

WARNING!!!
This entry has more images than ever before

You can create some pretty crazy stuff using composite imagery, but what's the point why not just have one image? Well for starters we wouldn't have nice panoramas with all those photos creating a long scene. For seconds I wouldn't be writing this blog post because we are creating a spherical panorama and polar panorama. Continuing on spherical panoramas would not exist because they require multiple images. Anyway, the world wouldn't have the same famous artists or the same creative minds.

Panorama for The Spherical

Spherical Portrait

The polar and spherical panoramas are very similar as they are a rotated panoramas. However there are many differences as well, polar panoramas need to turn it 180 degrees in Photoshop as is not the case with spherical panoramas. As well as the fact in spherical panoramas it appears as if the sky is trapped in a tube, in polar panoramas however it looks as if it is a planet in space. Also another thing that is different is the fact that in a polar panorama it matters if there is a tree reaching for the heavens, as you are trying to create a planet in space but with a spherical panorama it's OK if there is a tree reachin' straight in to the center because it's supposed to be more of a tube as seen in the images.

Polar Portrait

The things that make our little tiny worlds convincing would be the fact that we blend sky colors and making a realistic transition. Also the main thing that ruins a polar panorama is the line that is created and is almost like a barrier and just creates because we do not create 360° panoramas. Also as seen with the portraits they are very surreal, and include shadows. Finally there's just a really nice blend of colors and scenery that's created when doing this it makes it look like a real place or a realistic planet or tunnel. So that's it for today sorry this took an extra week, this was a extremely long project, hope you have an awesome next two weeks, until we meet again.

Hockney Style Joiners

Welcome back everyone today I am writing about photomontage and David Hockney. The difference between the photomontages I am doing and the ones David Hockney does is plentiful so let me tell you. Hockney would use processed color prints and arranged/glued them in the real world, however in class we are using photoshop and adobe bridge to create our photos. Also we are using DLSR cameras but Hockney used a Polaroid and recently has used his iPhone and iPad. The goal for why we are doing this is different as well, he was trying to make a living as we are just doing a school project.

There are tons and tons of images on the internet, good ones, bad one, inspirational and not so inspirational. Lots of them try to send messages through this photography or imaging and the photos send positive or negative messages. Just like the image provided (Which I did not make.) photos can send very positive messages, they can achieve this by literally saying a positive message like "You rock!". But they can be subliminal to have some emotion where all or most people have had in their life. Or in the contrary they can send negative messages. Like photos that show a grey world or a sad person they can all send negative messages. As well just as the positive messages an experience that most have had in their life.

My final photo montage

In my final photomontage or joiner as some call it we are supposed to have it symbolize ourselves or represent us and what i want people to see is probably mainstream. What I want to to see is friendship and tranquility. The reason I believe this represents friendship is well it was a gift from my friend and I probably won't see him for a very very long time because he is going to kamehameha school (probably) and he has been with me since second grade and it was fun. For me it represents tranquility because it always stays still and slowly grows.
