Polar Panoramas

         

These are my two best examples of my polar panoramas. First I made sure I had all of my equipment charged and ready. Then I brought my equipment to a beautiful scenery spot where I could get a good view of a horizon line. I took my pictures in a vertical fashion, so I made sure to follow the horizon line while getting a 360 view of my surroundings. After i took all my pictures I Uploaded my photos onto my computer and stitched them together to form a panorama. I then resized my panorama to be a perfect square and rotated it upside down. Then I applied the polar filter and retouched.  

I added a cut out of myself to mimic the idea that my polar pano is a mini world. After editing my portrait photo, I used the Quick Selection Tool to cut out the background, refine the edges, and resize the layer to fit my polar pano perfectly. The last step was to create a shadow. I did this by making a copy of myself , decreeing the exposer to make it black, then decreasing the opacity.

Spherical Panoramas

These are my two best examples of the spherical Panoramas that I created. First I took two different sets of 10-15 images in a 360 degree rotation with a small overlap to allow for a smooth panorama. I then edited the images in Adobe Camera Raw and compiled into a panoramic image using PhotoShop's PhotoMerge plugin. After i had made a successful panorama i resized it to be square and used a polar coordinates filter. I then contracted and feathered the edges using the elliptical marquee tool. Then lastly i added a white or black background to the picture and I was done!

All About Me

Hello peoples!

My name is Cambria Miles and I go to Kapa'a Middle School. Born in California but now in Kauai, Hawaii. I am 13 years old and I love art and music. Music is my life! I love to hang out with friends, travel, and just have fun. I went to a private school until 6th grade, then I switched to Kapaa Middle School and joined the GT class when I Started 8th grade.

I do my best to stay on track in school and make sure to work hard and get good grades. Reading and education is important to me but so is having fun. I love that in my G.T class we can do both, have fun while still learning. My friends and family are awesome and super supportive and with out them I would definitely not be the person I am today. Speaking of, it was my friends who first got me into acting and made me sign up for the Kauai Performing Arts Program(KPAC).

KPAC,GT, and all of my friends are what I look forward to and enjoy in life. They inspire me to be more adventurous and to take more risks. But they are good risks. They kind that, if they go right, and improve your life can help you reach your goals.      

Final Photomontages

 Here are my two finished Photomontages that were inspired by the famous photographer David Hockney, who first created what he called "joiners". I used a digital camera to take multiple pictures of something I liked or found inspiring, then batch edited them using Adobe Camera Raw. I then compiled my finished composite image in photoshop.
