Panorama!

For this panorama project, I had to change the opacity on a lot of pictures. I also did some cropping and changed the exposure. Another cool thing I learned to do was batching, using the gritty overprocessed filter on the basketball one and the lake one.

So for this project I adjusted the brightness and cantrast for theq pictures using curves. I then transformed some pictures while putting them together. I used the distort transformation the most. After putting all the pictures together, I merged all the layers into one. Once that was done I began duplicating the picture several times and adjusting the opacity, then placing the duplicated pictures around the main one, leaving no plain white space.

Pano

Summary: Doing the pano, some very important things to work with were the opacity and layers. I had to fit twenty pictures together to make one composition. I used the selection tool and the move tool a lot to help me out.

For this project I aranged my photos to create and interesting composition and good balance. The area of emphasis was the beach in the background. To make my composition more interesting I warped it in photoshop to create an interesting shape.

For my Panorama, I tried to make it some what surreal with the house looking so choppy. I tried to have a high contrast with a low saturation to make the photos look interesting. I also tried to make it look different by making the opacity levels all different. Finally I could have been neater with my circle compisition.

Visual Puns- Hammerhead

For this project I desaturated every picture to make them black and white. Then for most of the pictures I added a layer mask and used the eraser tool to get rid of unwanted areas. For the one picture of the man with the hammer as a head (2nd to last) I used gaussian blur to blur the background. With all the pictures I also adjusted the brightness and contrast. Oh and my pun was Hammerhead. On the last picture those are all little faces on the nails. I also used to burn/dodge tool to creat shadows, lighten, and darken things.

Shooting for this project took place mostly in Florida during my Spring Break. I wanted to capture how much I dislike the state of Florida by using various surreal imagery. For the first two i took a shot I took of a palm tree and added found images. I liked the simplicity of the original photo so I thought I could just add a couple minor things to keep that simplity. I used a combination of masquing, blurring, and burning to create these effects.
