Tiny Spherical Worlds

The point of a composite image is to create an image that is combined with different scenes/elements. With one picture, your whole image wouldn't look as unique as having multiple images merged together. Composite images needs more than one image to be combined. It won't be a composite image if you only have on picture, what are you gonna combine? Nothing. That's why you need more than one image. If you want to create a composite image you need to take multiple pictures to merge together. There are two types of panoramas that is made by compiling images, but in this case you take the images and make it to a circle. Let me tell you more about it. It's all like a panorama, where your device takes more than one picture and compiling them together and making a wide view shot of what you want. In this case, we take the pictures, turn it into a panorama and make it into our own little world.

Polar and spherical panoramas are originally panoramas but they are turned into a circle. No longer a straight boring line of images, but connected end to end to make a circle. The difference between then is how they look, they both are circles but the difference is that one of them is a planet-like image. That is the polar pano, the land is in the middle surrounded by the sky. Spherical is more of an ant view of your surroundings. The sky is trapped in the middle surrounded by nature. They are both circular panos but they have a difference. Even how you make it, there's a step in Photoshop that is not taken for one of them. A added step to one of the images. The little things makes the difference, even though we think it's the same because it kinda is. Recap, polar is surrounded by sky and looks like a planet. Spherical, the sky is trapped in the middle and is surrounded by trees, buildings, etc. Sometimes your polar turns out to be a spherical and your spherical turns out into a polar. It all matters on the angle, if you are working on a polar and you skipped to image rotate to 180° then that'd turn out into a spherical. If you did that step for spherical then you'd get a polar image. Little steps, huge differences.

When we're almost done with making our tiny worlds, there is a huge eye-catching variable that we need to fix. It is a line that meets end to end and how do we fix that let me tell you. We had to use the Cloning Stamp in Photoshop to blend everything together. If we don't blend it together, there'd be a huge line that speaks, "I was edited!" We don't want that do we? Nope. It's the most challenging part on making our tiny worlds. Sometimes they can't even be blended because one side would be trees and the other would be a house. Although, that's no biggie since we have the Clone Stamp. We blend it in our ways, how we want it to look like. The main goal is to get rid of that line and and make the final image convincing and not doubtful to others. It is easy blending everything together but one end is a tree and the other end is a building, koof there's a problem. Since those ends are going to be connected, you'd suspect something... "Why is there a building cutting off a tree?" That is the hard part if you're in this case. It's either you take out the building and make a tree or the other way around. Either way is good, but if you're pro and all and you find a way to make those two different things come together and look realistic, well I clap for you GOOD JOB! If you pass through that, good job and you made your own world.

Hockney Style Joiners

Hello Hello! It's me again, for this new blog post I will be talking about David Hockney's photomontage and my own that we are creating. David Hockney created collages he called "joiners" Check out that link to learn more about joiners. Anyways, let me just tell you about what's really unique about David Hockney's photomontages that makes it different from mine. David Hockney's major aim for making these combined images is to discuss the way a human vision works. Compare mine, it's only random pictures from place to place. No aim but to take as much pictures to recreate an image with multiple pictures.

Social Media... A major key point to everyone's lives. Social media runs the world, tell me about it. Images that can be posted and shown to the whole entire world, isn't that ironic? Although, there are people out there that are cyber bullies and they can bring negative thoughts to your images which will affect you in some type of way, but there are other people that give positive feedback which will make you feel very happy. For example, if you posted a picture that it's your birthday, other people will say "Happy Birthday!" and some would say "So?" You just went on a roller coaster there. Photos that you post can mean so much things to other people, people with different minds. Another example, if you posted a image of a drawing that you made, other people wouldn't see it as good as others. Then you'll go on a ride again with all the positive and negative comments you receive just because of a beaver drawing. Very random I know. There is always a good and a bad side in social media and you'll come across both of them, maybe one by one or at the same time.

For my final photomontage, I want my audience to see my friends. My friends are really important to me, they're always there when I need them that's why I chose friends for my final photomontage. My friends are my family is all I can say. They are very important to me and these three girls are only a portion of all my friends. I have a lot of friends... I'm working on not making anymore friends because I am content with my friends now. They might not seem much but for me they are VERY important. Without friends you wouldn't, or me, wouldn't really be all happy. Who am I without them? Why would I be happy and sad and mad and more without anyone dedicated to it. My point is, is that they have a huge impact on my life. I wouldn't be as happy as I am now.
