Tiny Spherical Worlds

Composite photos (or panos) are really important if you are near a very beautiful landscape or surrounding because if you just take one picture it wont be able to capture all of it. Then if you decide to do a composite photo it can see all around you and capture more of the beauty than just one picture. In the making of a composite photo we took ten different pictures that overlap by 10%. Why not just one picture? Well if you only took one picture you wouldn't be able to see what your eyes cant see. A composite picture is a photo is a fantastic way to take a photo, it really lets your eyes see more then normal!  

Polar and spherical panos are different but similar in some ways. they are different because a spherical because a polar pano multiple pictures smushed together into one and turned into a circle and it ends up looking like a realistic tiny world. A spherical pano is a different thing. A spherical pano is a bunch of photos smushed together and then turned around so the world or land is surrounding the sky. These two are similar because they most of the steps that are needed are the same. All the steps are the same except when making a spherical pano you skip the step "turn 180 degrees" , thats what gives it the world around the sky effect.

i think that my finished results are convincing in multiple ways! One of the reasons that it is, is because I edited the pictures to look abnormal and a slight bit unusual but still a little bit realistic. Also by putting the pictures into a world shape makes it look like an actual planet or world!! And lastly the viewers of my image will probably look at it and think that I put a lot of work into it, which I did.

Hockney Style Joiners


I think that David Hockney's photomontages and my photomontages are very different. One way that our photomontages are different is that I think mine look more realistic. Another reason is that David Hockney has had a lot more experience and has taken a lot more pictures than me so his images are going to be more advanced than mine.  

Images can send any kind of messages. The filter of a picture can even send a message. For example, if I took a picture with a black and white filter it might look mysterious or scary. It also depends on what the picture is  of.  If the picture is of something happy like a beautiful, vibrant flower it's going to send a positive message.  If the flower looks dead and is drooping chances are that it will send off negative messages.

For my photomontage I decided to take a picture of a goal with a super pretty sunset background. Im hoping that my final image will give the audience a positive message. Also that I am a hard working athlete. All of my pictures that I posted on my Google+ look very inspirational and beautiful. So, that is what I tried to do with taking the pictures for the final. I try to make all of my photos show and describe my personality and my hobbies. Hopefully my audience see's that this picture describes me.
