Hey guys its Hailee with another blog post! This weeks project is polar and spherical panoramas. In order to create a polar or spherical panorama, you will need to take multiple photos around you to capture the scene to create a perfect planet or crystal ball effect in Photoshop. Also, if you only use one photo, your finished project will end up looking weird and boring. When you use multiple photos to put them together to re-create the scene, it will look like a small world/crystal ball.
The difference between Polar spherical panoramas is that polar panoramas look like small little planets while, spherical panoramas look like a crystal ball or snow globe. I personally like the Polar panorama better than the Spherical panorama because I like how it looks like a small world. Polar panoramas also remind me of the Universal studios logo. Another reason why both panoramas are different is because the process is different in a little but, important way. When you make a Polar panorama, you have to flip the picture upside down. When you make a Spherical panorama, you leave the photo right side up.
I think what makes my tiny worlds look so convincing and realistic is that I used a tool in Photoshop called the "Clone stamp". The Clone stamp helps make my tiny world look realistic by fixing imperfections such as lines, trees, etc. Also, before we make a panorama, we have to edit the photos in a program called Bridge. In Bridge, their is a feature called Camera Raw. In Camera Raw, it allows you to make your photos really pop with color. I hope you liked this weeks blog post. Bye!
